About Replit
Replit went from online IDE to the poster child of vibe coding. Its Agent takes a plain-English description and scaffolds, codes, debugs, and deploys a working app with a database and auth, all in the browser with nothing to install. Serious engineers eventually export to heavier setups, but for founders validating ideas, nothing ships faster.
