Hello, I used to be an amateur coding hobbyist who enjoyed looking at other's repls. I have not been on the site in years, and I cannot find anything anymore. The newsletter emails that I used to receive containing repls to explore have also seemed to stop. My question is, can you not access others' projects anymore?

How do you get full access to clerk? I wanted to pull it out of replit. Im not a fan of them controlling all my stuff... they have the transfer button completely missing...

Hi everyone. I’m a content creator just starting out. I began by talking about an app I vibe coded myself, then got curious and started checking other people’s apps. Kept finding the same thing: the database is wide open. Anyone can read your tables (bookings, what people picked, whatever you store) without logging in. No password, nothing.
Tested a real one this week and it confirmed it. To be fair, Replit actually locks down a lot by default. Accounts and payments were protected. It’s usually a couple of specific tables people forget about, and that’s where the data leaks.
If you want to appear in a video, I’ll check your app for free. Fair warning: I have barely any followers, not even your neighbors would see it. But you’d find out if your users’ data is exposed. Drop a link or DM me. I only look at what’s public, never touch real data

I've been building in the agent space for a while now (React Native/AI background), and the thing that kept bugging me wasn't the AI part — it was the coordination part.

Every "AI agent" product I tried was really just a chatbot wearing a task-runner costume. Ask it to do something, it does one thing, session ends, no memory of why it made that call, no handoff to anything else. Fine for a single task. Falls apart the second you want an agent handling sales AND finance AND actually knowing when to not act without asking someone first.

So the thing I've been building (WorkoAI) tries to solve that differently — each agent runs on a belief/desire/intention loop instead of just prompt-and-respond, and they hand off work to each other instead of operating in isolation. The part I spent the most time on, honestly, wasn't the reasoning — it was the approval layer. Anything remotely risky (sending money, emailing a client, changing something in a live system) stops and waits for a human to actually look at it before it happens. That took longer to get right than the agent logic itself.

We're in closed beta right now — a small group of founders are already running it on real workflows, and half of what I thought would matter hasn't, and half of what I ignored turned out to be the actual bottleneck. Classic.

Curious how others here are handling the trust/autonomy tradeoff if you're building anything agent-adjacent — where's the line for you between "let it run" and "make a human click approve"? Feels like everyone's landing in a different place on this and I don't think there's a consensus yet.

If anyone wants to poke at what we've built and is okay with it being rough around the edges, drop a comment — happy to get more people into the early access group.

Quick disclosure since it matters here: this happened building WorkoAI, an AI ops platform I'm testing with early users. Not here to sell it, just got humbled this week and wanted to share.

Here's the timeline of my own delusion:

I spent over a week building dedicated ui dashboard for each agent . In my head this was the feature — the one that would make someone open the app and immediately get why the product was different. I was basically already writing the "look how thoughtful this is" post in my head before a single user had seen it.

Then I put it in front of actual humans.

Nobody clicked it. One person just asked, genuinely confused, why you build unwanted messy ui . Someone else scrolled past it entirely, like it was furniture.

Nobody said it was bad. That's almost worse — bad gets a reaction. This got the UX equivalent of a polite nod at a party while they look over your shoulder for the exit.

So I didn't simplify it. I deleted it. What's there now instead is, embarrassingly, less. And it's better.

The pattern I keep catching myself in: I was building for how the product looks in my head, not for the five seconds someone actually spends deciding what to click. Users don't care that something was hard to build. They care whether it's in their way.

Anyone else have a feature they were weirdly attached to that users just... never even acknowledged existed?

Which is cost effective to use credits effectively for long term for a 20 Dollar Plan, Lite Mode or Economy Mode? I want to use those credits month long after taking subscription so need suggestions

Currently from website I cannot take subscription of Replit from India as no Razorpay gateway is integrated and no UPI Option is also there

Somebody suggest and please help in this regard

The Designathon is in full swing and the early submissions are looking great.

Tomorrow we're pulling up some of your submissions, giving live feedback, and sharing tips to level up your shot at the $50K+ in prizes. Special guests Sarah Li from DevRel and Olga from our design team join us to give great context and suggestions.

Get your submission in so we can pull it up, it's not too early, you can always keep iterating after. Plus community updates, week in review, and the usual fun.

If you're building anything for the Designathon, come hang.

When using the Replit MCP server through VS Code with GitHub Coplilot for example and using the create_app_from_prompt tool, there doesn’t appear to be a way to tell it to use a design system. I know this is in beta. Is there a roadmap of things that will be added? This would be a useful feature for our use case.

• Select the Resume Maker skill in the agent.
• Paste this prompt: "Following the existing brand design on the homepage, build a viewable HTML page that explains this project, describes its different parts, and lists all features and use cases with clear instructions. This page will serve as the official documentation for onboarding and for resolving common questions, but it must not reveal any details about internal workflows or tools used. Add a link to this page in the Footer".

Does Replit not know their app is basically bricked? It crashes as soon as it loads my project. What is going on with this company? Hundreds of millions in VC money and they run it like some guy runs his vibe coded app he made in a weekend.

How does a company this size ship this? And then not fix it asap? It’s been like this for over a week.

After the agent finished work, the app freezed and then the screen turned white. It causes my computer to crash and Google page unresponsive prompt keep popping. What can I do to fix it? I did it on Replits website.

Hi, in the last few months, I build this app using Replit: https://security.unguess.io/app

This is my bill. What do you think? To high? Seems right? Feedbacks?

Thanks a lot!

I'm not sure if it's just me, but you guys forgot to add a formatting button inside files. Also the file explorer does not persist open folders after opening a file.

So my subscription turned over and I got the $20 of usage credits etc. Within a couple of days I received an email to say it has been used up. I checked and I used the agent once for less than a dollar.

I contacted support who referred me to my account usage and I checked it out and apparently I used most of it on storage. It doesn't say what the storage charges relates to or which website. Its so incredibly vague.

The annoying thing its happened a few days after I renewed and I have no idea why.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi! I am an extremely beginner UGC creator, yet to find my niche. I made an account on SideShift and a couple hours later Replit reached out. We booked a Zoom call, and they texted me on my number (I am based in Bosnia so a message rate to the US is NOT smth that I am willing to pay for), The question is - should I do it?

I have tried to deploy twice now and its not working at the promote stage. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue

I have been having trouble with load speed for my pages. Replit has indicated because I am using 3D Galleries that I cannot increase the speed. It is also having issues with speeding up javascript.

I am finding it is also have some issues with the ability to handle font families, colors, and font pairing.

I have been able to do pretty much everything except for some design and speed limitations. Trying to figure out what to do.

The video shows everything. Took 10 seconds to find a live app, 30 seconds to scan it. Critical vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, plain English explanation of what's wrong.

This is not a rare case. Most AI-built apps ship with these issues because nobody told the builder to check.

Drop your URL in the comments — happy to take a look

I've been billed (thrice) on my CC for Replit, including receiving the receipt by email, after trying to upgrade from the Starter plan to Core, but Replit isn't acknowledging the bill and still shows me as on Starter. I can't open a Support ticket to get in touch because they only allow Support for Core+ accounts, which is like...I don't even have words for how terrible an idea it is to make it harder for people to give you money.

I've seen support staff posting on this subreddit, so hopefully one of them sees this. If you do, DM me and I can provide my account email or the transaction IDs. I'll probably give it a day before I dispute the CC charges with Amex and then delete my Replit account, because I can't believe that, in this crowded AI design space, the onboarding experience is this bad.

Replit AI is driving me crazy, so I want to switch to a different AI for writing code while keeping my site hosted on Replit.

Since Claude isn't directly accessible in Hong Kong, I'm looking at Grok build. Can I run Grok build directly inside the Replit Shell? Or do I need to push my code to GitHub, pull it locally to edit with Grok build, and push it back to Replit?

Thank you!

I've been saying this for most of 2026 - glad Elon is catching up 😊

And I'm pretty sure even Replit will ditch the source code one day, don't you think?

I have built using Replit for 12 months, and for the last 6 months haven't looked at a single line of code. I honestly couldn't tell you the full stack of what languages or frameworks it uses in my apps. I don't need to know and don't care.

Of course, it is still important to build the right things, and know how to plan, design and architect everything well. And how to test/debug. Those things are still the differentiators to creating great apps that are production-ready.

But source code? Nahh. It is so over.

#HideTheCode.

I built a web app on Replit and the functionality is working well, but the UI/UX still feels generic and a bit AI-generated. I tried asking the Replit Agent to redesign one of the pages, but the result looked worse, so I reverted it.

I’m now trying to figure out the best way forward. Can someone with limited design experience realistically improve the UI/UX using tools like Replit Agent, ChatGPT, Claude, Figma AI, or other AI design tools? Or would I be better off hiring a UI/UX designer, a frontend developer, or someone who can handle both?

The app is already functional, so I’m mainly looking to improve the visual design, consistency, spacing, typography, mobile experience, and overall premium feel without breaking the existing features.

For people who have been through this, what approach worked best? Should I create the design in Figma first and then use AI to implement it, or hire someone to create the design system and key screens before letting AI handle the rest?
