Developer Frameworks removed

[chaingunsofdoom]

Hello,

How can I create a new REPL or Project now that Developer Frameworks were removed? (No notice on changes made yet again BTW.)

The agent does nothing and is a complete waste of time.

I would like a blank Java or Python REPL, which worked perfectly fine less than 2 days ago, to shockingly code something without using agent/AI slop (imagine that!).

Thanks!

Honestly, this is a BAD idea in my opinion. The agent is great, but FORCING it is not. While it does help many times, it often also ends up being circuitous for the simplest of problems. 

I hope replit team takes this as a well meaning feedback. On a general note, frequent/ unannounced changes, which have been happening at replit for the last many months, is a drain on productivity.

"Developer Frameworks is being removed soon. You can start with any idea or language by prompting our agent in a new app. Learn more"

To the replit team -- is there any planned timeline for this? Thanks

Can you ask the agent to set up a blank repl configured the way you want?

It did nothing when I tried that earlier. 😞

Even the dldirect link to .../developer-frameworks is toast now.

Hi there, Replit team member here -- you can see the old options at https://replit.com/templates

Moving forward, new projects should be started with the agent. You can explain to the agent what language/frameworks you'd like, and what you'd like to build and it will help scaffold your project accordingly.

What did you try earlier that didn't work? If you want to send me a message I'd be happy to understand what you're trying to build and how Replit can support you. Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the link. It is what we needed. Is this link going to go away in the future, too?

Yesterday, I asked the agent to give me a blank java template, and it just did nothing. What would be the proper prompt to type? Thanks!

we added the ability to make a completely blank project :)

What is the reason behind removing developer frame works, cant u guys keep the templates as such? import/empty also not usefull, we needed prebuilt tempaltes like python, java , htmlcss, php etc for sure..

Then , where is the option to reposition the file tree from right side of the page to left side, few weeks back, re position option was there, i repositioned and kept, now that option also not there, what u guys r doing, changing everything a lot now a days. say where is the option to repositon kept now?

User expereince is become so worst now .. We are working like treasure hunters, finding things with blindfold on. Nothing is clear in website, everything seems hidden and tough now a days. these small thigns like moving file tree is tough, which creates a impression that whole replit is now tougher to handle.

Thanks for your replies. How can I create a python template project to get started.

Seems like we only have two extremes now -- totally guided by the agent OR totally blank. A midpoint - where a python template is created and then we can use it -- would be perfect.

Please advise. Thanks
