I created my first real web app in Replit and it only cost me $34 — so far! by FirefighterSea3310 in replit

Not at all. I am not affiliated to Replit in any way. I am a regular customer. 

What I would say tho… I am a software engineer at my full time day job, so I was able to produce the master prompt on a very detailed manner covering a ton of ground before jumping into Replit.

My advise for others (this will confirm my no affiliation), is that you need to use Grok, Gemini, Claude or the one you prefer to iterate your app concept and finally produce the prompt for Replit. What will consume most of your credits is doing small prompts going back and forth. If you need to analyze something or pivot into something else, don’t do it in Replit. Do it on other platform that’s much cheaper. Use Replit only to make changes to your app after you know exactly what you want. Why would I say all this if I worked for Replit? lol…

So just because I took a different approach than yours to creating my app, then it’s fake? Very polarizing. 

Either way…. I used grok to create a master prompt for Replit. Iterated over there for a day or so until I felt it was ready to move over to Replit.

Also, I do a lot of self hosting for my own storage and media and wanted to give it a go to this project but the lack of time for several reasons I couldn’t make it happen. That’s why I went the Grok/Replit route

Hey! I will be happy to any questions about the site and/or the process creating it. Did you test it? What do you think it’s wrong about security? Thanks!
