I may be misreading this, so please correct me. It seems as if this project has gone from open source to a closed source service ? [ https://github.com/replit/jsrepl ] Are Facebook, Google, and all the other name brands you are using to promote your product using your proprietary service, or the older open source stuff? If you have gone closed source, you should only be using names that are using the proprietary prod…

Oh, I could see how this could be misleading. So the open-source tech you linked to is outdated -- we moved everything from the client-side to our own infra (because we wanted to do things like open a port). We intend to open source the backend infra too but it takes time for the protocol to stabilize. The "open-source" section on the homepage is intended to show that some open-source projects (for example Jest https…

Just to be clear, Google using the Classroom product doesn't implicitly grant you permission to use their logo on your marketing materials. Did you obtain permission from the listed entities to use their logos?

I probably did, it's been a year though so I'm not entirely sure. For what it's worth this really is not needed and I actually hate the "look at all the logos" sections on websites so I just pushed a fix to remove it.

Good work.

Just as a possible user.. I use Rubymine for my Ruby on Rails development. Not only does it give me autocomplete on my application specific methods, it understands RVM (Ruby Version Manager) and understands where all of the dependencies are locations and has indexed those as well.

I can jump into an ActiveRecord definition as easily as my own methods. And it does this when I simply open the project directory.

Sublime Text 3 and some of the other editors can do the autocomplete/inspect method for full project and dependencies, but not without manual config changes (and some googling).

Hey HN, author and Repl.it cofounder here. It's been a long journey to get to what we're calling 1.0 and HN have been there on every step of the way. We started working on what became Repl.it back in school where we were tired of setting up the development environment on every machine we wanted to code on. It was at a time where everything was moving to the cloud and we thought that, naturally, coding would follow su…

Just wanted to say I love repl.it and use it all the time!

Hello -- I tried to email you once to inquire about setting up a business relationship with the company I work for (one of the largest training organizations in the world).

Is this an avenue you're at all perusing / interested in -- or else, do you have any sense of how other business could rely on your product?

The teacher you're thinking of from last year is me :)

Thanks a lot for the great classroom product, and your support. It made my work a lot easier.

I don't see this as an issue, personally. Part of their product is open-source, and part of it isn't. In addition, their product can be used to help open-source projects with documentation, code running, etc. When I read "Open Source" near the bottom, that's what I read (the we help you with your open source projects). Also, any company is allowed to use names as long as they have an agreement with the company in pla…

"Part of their product is open-source"

As I understand it, this is no longer the case (as compared to say an open core company). They had some open source software. They abandoned it. They hope to open source their tech in the future, but currently they are closed source proprietary tech on top of the usual Linux, node, etc infrastructure.

They may be used by, or useful for open source projects, but currently they are not what most people would consider an open source company. I think that requires at least an open core, which to my understanding is not currently available.

I'd like to echo this. It's been improving so rapidly it's hard to keep up!
