I build stuff with Replit and Zapier. Sometimes for money, sometimes for fun!

From the UK, but living in Hungary for 11+ years.

I needed a way to turn .docx into basic HTML.

Couldn't be bothered to wade through Google for freemium options.

Went to Replit Agent instead.

One prompt, 2 mins, done.

The latest issue of Replit Builders newsletter went out yesterday 📬

Covers:

Their acquisition of OpenInt + Stripe integration made easy, migrating from Vercel to Replit, Amjad talks Replit history, another live session incoming and a look at which apps companies are paying for (hint: Replit).

Just cancel all your meetings and don’t add them back, ever 😁
A good practice at the start of every year is to cancel all your recurring meetings and then only add them back as necessary.

This helps with cleaning up meetings from your calendar that have continued out of inertia which at this point could just be a status email.

The good thing about AI coding tools is that this mantra just isn’t that important anymore.

When an MVP can be built in less than 1 hour it’s now totally fine to just test whatever idea pops into your head 😁
Friendly reminder to all my builders out here:

❝Build something that somebody wants❞

If you haven't spoken to 20 potential users this week and gathered their needs, your product is doomed to fail.

Find the problem, and solve it. It's the only way.

Day 3 in Italy - I wanted to find some local bands to listen to.

So I built an app with #Replit. It cost $1.65 and took 45mins.

Push a button… the app finds the nearest town/city… lists some bands… plays me a YouTube video 🎧

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.
Y2K seems like a joke now, but in 1999 people were really freaking out

Today I used Replit to build a programmatic SEO site for fun.

It took about 15mins and cost $0.80.

Compare fruits and their nutritional values.

Here are the steps 👇

Car trip to Italy. Building stuff on Replit 🔥

Click a button… get latest news from a random city via Perplexity.

20 mins and $0.55.

Building useless apps for fun feels like art tbh 😅 So much fun.

I want to create a community for people building stuff with Replit Agent.

Just somewhere where we can share what we’re working on, get ideas and help.

Who’s in when I set it up?

Agent is going to be the next big thing, I’m sure of it. And I want to be around people using it.

Would love some help in testing the new search of starter packs I've been building (like a crazed mad man).

Just visit this super secret URL and search:

Let me know if it's slower/faster and you get better results.

It annoys my wife when I point this out 😅 It's so obvious.
