Good suggestion. We have a lot of cleaning up to do on the sign up flow/landing pages.
Just visited using my phone. The site is barely responsive and therefore had a hard time understanding what the tool is about. Might be worth fixing! Otherwise, based on the comments here, looks like a really cool service!
Hey, ceo/cofounder of Repl.it here. Was pleasantly surprised to see this on HN! React Native and Expo has taken the world of mobile development by storm and we're happy to play a part in spreading this amazing technology. Many of you might know us from being one of first in-browser REPLs (for 30+ programming languages https://repl.it/languages ). Our mission is to make programming more accessible and that's why, more…

Hey, I'v used Repl.it a fair amount for Python in the past. Seems like you've built a really nice tool which has lots of languages supported. Out of curiosity, how are you funded?
I really want to learn React Native and this looks like a fantastic tool. Does anyone have any documentation that easily explain design patterns in RN? Does all code live in 1 file?

(Please downvote if my comment is off-topic) Is it possible to support creating and deploying Minecraft server mods using repl.it? At one point (2-3 years ago) my son was interested in doing this but the pain of installing Java, an IDE (NetBeans), getting started in Java programming and deploying it on a vanilla Minecraft server was just too much. Or are there better options now for Minecraft server mod programming?
If running two installers is a pain maybe programming is a wrong area to be interested in.
I'm willing to guess that's where things got hard, not installing and running an app. Would you know what to do when NetBeans throws you in front of an empty text editor? Or, when starting a new project, did you know the canonical way of naming things without being shown once?

Hi- Cofounder of Expo here. Was really fun to work with the Repl.it team on this. This came out really well. It's such a good way for novices to learn to make mobile apps.
They both seem like browser based code editing tools to make a react native app. Why the partnership with repl.it? Do they have a larger use base and thus give you visibility?

Thanks, the site linked here is/should be responsive. What browser/phone? Care to send me a screenshot? (amjad@repl.it) thanks!
