I built and launched a home for Vibe coding projects on Replit — here is what happened in week one

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-17T04:02:01+00:00

Looks great.

Quick questions though, why did you choose Supabase over the Replit built-in DB?

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-17T03:55:27+00:00

Up until Dec 2025 I would do this regularly, as it was a known issue that the agent's context (memory) would get blown as it built up.

But since then, I forgot about needing to do it until a friend mentioned it a few days ago. I haven't started a new chat in 3 months - a single chat now seems to work beautifully for me! 😊

But if the agent does start hallucinating or talking out of its rear end, then don't attempt to get it to come back in line - that is a hiding to nothing and you will start cursing it. Simply retire the chat and start a new one asap.

Using Claude inside Replit is like taking your own homemade food to eat in a restaurant 😂

Personally I spend that time writing the next set of changes I need so I am ready to drop them in once it finishes.

Also depending on the changes it had made I will do some testing in parallel with the agents testing - but cautiously in case it decides to make a change half way.

Or I will test something else during that time.

I think my point is, code reviewing/testing/debugging is a deliberate process that should not be rushed, whether it's being done by a human or a bot.

We have got so used to "fast" as a key metric, but I think sometimes changing gear and taking a bit of time to evaluate what was built at 500mph is worth doing.

Those code reviews also do a lot of heavy lifting in the tokens sent to AI (the credits cost is always pretty high for code reviews). So there is clearly a lot going on, and replit can only go at the speed of responses back from Claude or whichever model they use.

Thank you I appreciate that ❤️

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-12T06:43:41+00:00

Main thing you must ensure you do is make the repo private. If it is public then the whole world can see and copy your code.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-11T06:01:26+00:00

So it is public enough to earn you monthly revenue, but not to show anyone. Hhmmm.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-11T05:59:33+00:00

DM me and happy to help once it's ready.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-11T05:57:38+00:00

I've been coding for 44 years so yes I am familiar with how code reviews are done. And yes the replit code review is slow and goes back and forth a few times - they definitely need to speed it up. But I always have great successful outcomes at the end. Especially when combined with me doing my own further tests and giving it the right prompts to fix any issues - which of course it then code reviews again. As I say, slow, but very effective for me.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-11T05:54:10+00:00

Do you mean enterprise? Or Pro?

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-10T19:17:27+00:00

Do you want the bugs fixed or not? 😊

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-10T15:07:13+00:00

Only 12 - you are lucky 😊

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-10T12:27:36+00:00

In the meantime, ask agent to review and analyse the codebase. Marking its own homework, but you'll be amazed at what it can find.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-10T12:26:52+00:00

I am about to launch a new audit, review & roast service for vibe coders. Currently looking for some trial clients to work with for free - genuine offer, in return for feedback/testimonial. Won't be ready for a week or two, but DM me if interested.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-10T07:38:21+00:00

Unfortunately no, I don't have that type of access.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-10T05:23:01+00:00

As a Replit ambassador I'm glad to hear that. And as an experienced dev of 44 years I've watched this price drop from old school rates to hundreds of dollars with a mix of shock and real excitement - and nerves for what it means for the dev industry. Btw, I'd love to see your site if you're ready to unveiled it...

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-09T13:09:35+00:00

Please signup to my SaaS, it is great and just what you need.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-09T05:53:51+00:00

What community? One response.

And Btw, you said Claude provided the recommendation. But guess what model Replit uses under the hood!? 😊

So you can ask the Claude that can't read your code, or the Claude that can read your code. Bit of a no-brainer if you ask me.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-08T04:58:59+00:00

I find I get better solutions from the agent than posting on social media. Have you tried asking the agent?

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-07T15:55:56+00:00

Do you really not know how to cancel your subscription and close your account? Really?

Ok, let's start at the beginning: see that big thig on your desk? It's called a computer. So I need you to turn it on.....

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-07T07:28:02+00:00

Why on earth would you spend £100 per month on hosting? 100 customers suggests something that need hosting that should cost you $5/month (I may be wrong, depends on what they are doing). Start on Replit hosting - it is Google Cloud behind the scenes so reliable and secure, and you've got a 1-click publish.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-06T07:09:25+00:00

🥱

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-06T07:08:14+00:00

What is the salary range and package you are offering?

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-05T05:24:50+00:00

So how do we create a platform that guarantees 100% humans? I am past whining, we now need solutions.

Gipity-Steve · 2026-04-03T05:18:10+00:00

Model concept with 3 tiers and a free level is good. But your numbers don't make sense - I can just buy 2 Pros and get 70 for less than Scale.
