Replit

A cloud-based IDE that lets you code, deploy, and collaborate on projects directly in your browser without any setup.

What is Replit?

Replit is a cloud-based development environment where you write code, run it, and deploy it live - all in your browser.

No installing Node, Python, or configuring environments. You pick a language template, start typing, and hit run. It handles package management, hosting, and even gives you a live URL automatically.

Most builders use it for quick prototypes, learning new languages, or building side projects without the overhead of local setup. The AI agent can scaffold entire apps, debug errors, and deploy with one click. Real-time collaboration means you can pair program like you're in Google Docs.

Free tier gets you started. Paid plans ($7-20/month) add more compute, always-on deployments, and better AI features.
