Replit is a multiplayer computing environment that makes it fun to learn how to code, build, and share apps with other people.
On Replit, you can create a computer in milliseconds -- we call them "repls" -- and you can create as many of them as you'd like, all for free. Repls come with storage for your code and files, a database for your data, and a multiplayer editor & console to code with your friends. You can boost a repl for $5/month to make it bigger and faster.
When you invite a friend to your repl, you can see them in your editor and talk to them right in your code. You can make web, desktop, and even command-line apps. Replit takes care of the entire process of publishing and hosting apps so you can focus on your ideas.
Millions of people have learned how to code with Replit and built great apps with thousands of happy users. Some have even built businesses and became rich & famous. Join us to grow a new generation of hackers & entrepreneurs.
What if you could influence how an entire generation of programmers code?
Repl.it is a collaborative in-browser IDE. We're building a stellar compute platform that runs code for millions of users, and hosts millions of apps (cheaply). Repl.it is the most popular entry-to-programming IDE and is the best in its collaborative capabilities. It's also increasingly the number-one destination for teenage hackers and hobbyists to build and launch apps.
Our work spans the hardest problems in computing (sandboxing, distributed systems, scheduling) and the most interesting problems in HCI ("how do you create a learnable programming environment?").
It's a unique time to join because we proved a huge demand for what we're building while also being early enough to have a huge impact and get a big part of the upside. We are only 16 people.
You can always email me (amjad@repl.it) with feedback.
We're on a mission to make programming more accessible by building the best, simplest, and fastest coding environment. Repl.it is a place to not only learn and practice programming but also to collaborate and ship applications. It's both exciting that we've been able to build a community of millions of users with a small team and an ambitious plan, and that we're inventing the future of programming.

Also top-notch customer support. The CEO was personally in the slack channel helping us. Highly recommended.
Repl.it is the first massively open collaborative computing platform where anyone, even without even needing an account, can hop on and in seconds start coding, building, and hosting apps and websites.
Apply if you like working on challenging problems, because running a service like this is hard to operate, scale, and secure. Also, supporting the number of languages we do (https://repl.it/languages) is a hard tooling problem -- we have to build generic protocols for all IDE actions like executing, debugging, authoring, running tests, writing files, etc. Finally, it's an incredibly challenging frontend/design problem to build a fast collaborative in-browser IDE that's both powerful and simple.
It's a great time to be joining us, we're still 16 full-time people, we reach millions of coders a month, and we're backed by YC and a16z.
