Last week, the SF builder community gathered for an exciting evening at the Andreesen Horowitz office. The mission? Helping developers go from idea to software, fast.
The Replit team was onsite to assist in evolving their prototypes into fully-fledged web apps, made production-ready with Replit Autoscale and Reserved VM Deployments.
At the end of the night, there were 15 standout project demos. Here's a sneak peek into some that caught our attention:
Spotlight projects
Unfathom AI: This team showcased a tool designed to craft generative worlds for video games, complete with a 3D avatar of our CEO, Amjad Masad. They deployed their static site with one click using Replit Static Deployments.
Shower Thoughts AI: Ever have a brilliant idea in the shower? Jake O’Shea created a tool that converts your voice notes into actionable summaries and tasks and sends them to your email. Developed with AI and hosted on Replit, you can explore it at showerthoughts.ai.
TelCal: A handy scheduling assistant, TelCal is a bot you can chat with on Telegram to manage your Google Calendar events. Aakash built it on Replit in just a few hours using Google APIs.
HeadshotsAI by Leap API: Presented by Alex Schachne, this app generates professional headshots. It even comes with a Stripe integration, aiding new entrepreneurs in monetizing their innovations. Try it for yourself here.
Link-in-Bio Page: Cassie Chao Leemans from Craft Ventures launched a fully functional web app with no prior coding experience. Using a Replit template and Static Deployments, she created her own virtual business card. Check it out here.

Apr 3, 2024Replit Developer Day recap
On April 2nd, we hosted our second annual Developer Day live from San Francisco. We announced our biggest evolution yet – we’re making the power of Replit available for teams. Here’s the full recap. Our mission Replit’s mission is to empower the next billion software creators. We are at an incredibly unique time in history, where for the first time, anyone with basic access to a computer and the internet can learn skills that can fundamentally change their lives. This kind of wealth creation opportunity has not existed before. Soon, what it means to be a software developer is going to look radically different than it does today. Replit is not just for hackers and engineers; we also want to empower builders of all kinds: artists, scientists, and citizen developers. If you have an idea, you should be able to build it and ship it. Empowerment is at the heart of our mission.
Dec 1, 2023Advent of Code on Replit
It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Advent of Code! Advent of Code is a month-long programming challenge with a new daily puzzle you can solve in any programming language. For many, Advent of Code is an excuse to learn a new programming language or practice a familiar one. No matter what programming language you choose to tackle the puzzles in, Replit is the easiest way to run your code. Here’s your guide to using Replit for AoC. Why choose Replit for Advent of Code Replit requires no installation or setup to get started with any language. Just select the language template and start coding directly in your browser. It supports most languages, from Python to Haskell, and even esoteric ones like LOLCODE. Execute your code using the Run button, or the built-in Shell. When you’re finished writing your code, check the output of your program quickly in the Console. If you get stuck, you can use the Multiplayer feature to share your code with a friend and ask for help.
