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…

I've been using repl.it for a couple of (or more, I suppose) years now, and it's been very helpful to have a simple, reliable REPL to jump into, test things out, and to share code.

Just wanted to say thanks for building it, and keep up the great work!

Could you add an option to copy/clone/use a github public repo? I would love to "mount" the github repo for tflearn and run the examples. Ideally, I would love a curated list of public repos per language that lets me explore and learn.

is it possible to export the final repl as a docker image and run it locally ?

Yes, eventually. As I said in a sibling thread, we intend to open-source our protocol/images so that we can do things like, use your own editor/local setup with Repl.it. Or eject completely from the platform.
