Fri, Nov 11, 2022See Your Currently Running Repls
Have you ever wondered which of your repls are running at a given time? Do you know which ones are currently serving traffic, and which ones need to be woken up?

If any of the above describe you, we have just launched a new feature made especially for you: the Repl Status Manager. To use it, go to the Status tab on the My Repls page.

Mon, Oct 17, 2022Replit x India (Part 1)
Plug: If you're excited about what we're building and would like to partner with us in India, please reach out at [email protected]! No other country in the world is as obsessed with coding as India is. India has the most number of computer science students graduating from college (215K+) each year and many more in adjacent fields of study like electrical engineering and IT. Learning to code is the surest way towards upward mobility and a solid middle class lifestyle. But the education system is broken which means that over 95% of graduating engineers are unfit to be employed immediately. IT services companies who hire 300K+ "freshers" each year, waste time and money on reteaching students what they were supposed to have learned in college itself. Some motivated students are aware of the poor quality of instruction they are receiving and turn to YouTube and other MOOCs that have some fantastic instructors (shout out to CodeWithHarry) that are helping kids to code. But MOOCs can take you only so far - it is well known that they have failed to deliver due to their low completion rates. Life happens and it's tough to stay motivated when you're learning and watching videos alone. Enter Replit. Today a kid learning to code in rural Bihar has access to the same internet connectivity (thanks to Reliance Jio) and top coding content on the internet (thanks to MOOCs like Harvard CS 50) as a developer in Silicon Valley. What the kid doesn't have access to is a decent computing device to code on and a community of learners with whom to learn from and collaborate on code. Replit solves this. The kid now has access to processing power and memory and storage in the cloud to run the most taxing code. They can meet other learners online, remix their code and ask for help from a supportive community of learners. And they don't have to worry about hosting their project anymore - we do it for free (cough cough Heroku)!
Wed, Oct 12, 2022Discuss code in context with Inline Threads
Part of what makes Replit so exciting to us is our community. We're always looking for new ways to help our creators connect, collaborate, and create something great together. When you're coding a great idea, we want to help you stay in creative flow, without being isolated from your friends or team. Since their introduction in 2021, Threads have been important for collaborative creation on Replit, especially for educators and students. Today, we're excited to release a new version of Threads and Chat. There's something in this release for everyone: from hobbyists and hackers, to students and educators, to teams and professionals. What's a thread?

Analytics For Every Repl
Web hosting on Replit is simple yet effective. When you start a server in your repl, we automatically detect which port it opened on and provide a public endpoint for you to access it. In other words, every HTTP request that goes to a *.repl.co domain is reverse-proxied through our secure infrastructure. This lets us do some cool things that more basic hosting providers simply can't do. One of these is analytics for your website or API. Have you ever wondered how many people visited your web site, what browsers they used, and whether they had any issues? Now you can find out! As of today, web analytics on Replit is automatically available in every repl, without installing any third-party JavaScript packages. To access it, just add /analytics to the end of your repl's URL, such as https://replit.com/@user/slug/analytics after enabling the Explorer role on your account. Web Analytics Dashboard
