Replit Hit's $100m ARR

I tried it beginning of the year. It was great. And then all of a sudden, the designs looked incredible. I'm about to just quit everything I do and just only start tweeting about Replet. Every time I tweet about Replet, it goes viral. Yeah. They just made this announcement, you know, going from 10 million to 100 million ARR, which is wild, you know. So, the company's been around for 10 years, and in the last 6 months, they go from 10 million to 100 million. In 2019, I think I found out about Replet. It was just like a collaborative IDE. They weren't, you know, they definitely weren't doing this agentic stuff and just in the last few months, it's just gotten really good. It's wild. So, it was just an a collaborative IDE before they introduced the vibe stuff like this year or something. Yeah. I think 5 months ago, they started releasing like some basic agentic stuff and I tinkered with it and I was like, "Okay, this is kind of interesting." You know, I can see it's trying. And then a couple months later, I tried it again. I was like, "Oh, this is like good." And it's just gotten like really good since then. It's not perfect, you know, it's you're not going to build the cutting edge craziest new stuff with it, but for most of what like people are doing with no code tools and websites and simple web apps, yeah, super powerful. I've built some really interesting things with it. I do think it's in a league of its own though because a lot of like lovable, bolt, uh even vzero, they they want you to use superbase and they want you to use stripe and they want you to use clerk and all these separate tools whereas replet all of these tools are all built in. So from the initial prompt, it already knows what it's capable of and we'll we'll build those things in whereas all the other tools I feel like they just they they mock all that data. I tried it beginning of the year and it was great and then all of a sudden the designs looked incredible. The thing that I don't I don't think most people think about when it comes to Replet, you know, since they've been around for so long, the product is very mature and because it was not only a collaborative IDE, but they had this like one-click deployment, the backend infrastructure, they have a lot of security things that like other folks aren't thinking about and so the way they manage their secrets and um environmental variables is very interesting. I see a lot of the other companies now trying to copy that. the integration with neon the backend databases that basically it's a you know Postgress database and the thing speaks SQL and you can just talk natively like again I saw somebody uh just recently tweeting about um you know superbase you know it needing to be a little less technical and like you said yeah having it all integrated having the agent being able to talk to everything natively there's other integrations you can bring in there's a preview live in the pane like between the agent and the assistant it's just better than everything else out there like uh Bolt and Lovable They're all they're great products and I've I've seen some interesting things built with them. But as far as like usable, fully functional, like not just a pretty front end or not just a you know little web skin like if you want real functionality uh yeah Replet's the one for sure.
