​

we have an app with a decent amount of users and ever since sunday it started crashing with no clear error logs...

we fixed every little warning even if was unrelated and we are still experiencing the crashes...

we reached out to replit support, due to the lack of production and access and visibility, but after a quick response that they would get someone with production access in the support team to take a look we haven't heard back

for further analysis, the resources and http response graphs look fine, as well as the server logs on the publishing tab

so now we are asking reddit and you guys, has anyone had this happen in the past or recently?

has support ever taken this long to get back to you?

any suggestions or tips are very much welcomed!! Our product is growing and we wish to continue making it work but has been difficult last 4 days.

Hello

I have been reading about self hosted Ai, and was interested in a few of them especially Arabic trained ones.

I already have subscribtions with chatgpt and Claude, but wanted to build a few automations and blog writing agent that can run automatically.

My pc can handle it (the medium size of it).

Is this (Automation) is a purpose I can achieve with self hosted AI?

Tech Stack / Project Architecture

Frontend: React 19 + TypeScript, Vite, TailwindCSS, shadcn/ui, TanStack Query, wouter
Backend: Node.js, Express.js, TypeScript, Drizzle ORM, PostgreSQL (Neon)
Auth: Passport.js, express-session
Integrations: Stripe, OpenAI, SendGrid, Twilio, Lob, Web Push (VAPID)
Tooling: Drizzle migrations, Semgrep, HoundDog, custom smoke tests

Looking For (Must-Have Skills):

• Strong full-stack TypeScript experience (entire codebase is TS)
• Advanced React 18/19 (hooks, context, component composition)
• Express.js REST API architecture (clean route/service separation)
• PostgreSQL + ORM experience (Drizzle preferred; Prisma/TypeORM acceptable)
• TanStack Query understanding (server state vs client state)
• Experience integrating third-party APIs (Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, OpenAI)
• Secure authentication/session management experience

Ideal Candidate:
Need a senior-level full-stack developer comfortable working across frontend, backend, database, integrations, and production architecture—not a frontend-only or JS-only developer.

I went to start up a project, the only one I have, which has been off for two weeks. I try to launch it and it says

"Quota exceeded

This Repl's free usage quota has been exhausted. Upgrade to Replit Core for unlimited access, or return to the home page."

But everything I see still says there's a daily quota, but I haven't used this in weeks. Worse off, I can't edit or download the project either, so even if I'm now cut off from using it, I can't even save what I've built. Am I missing something here? Is there an undocumented change to the usage on the Starter plan?

Replit wants a payment for every $50. I want to increase this limit to 100 dollars. In other words, a payment should be received for $100 use. How can I do this?

hi everyone , I participated in the buildathon of replit , I published the website and after a few days , I want to see the analytics , but I am on the free tier , I wanted to see the analytics on clerk but apparently replit configured everything so I cannot access my app there , does anyone know how can I do that

I’ve been helping non-technical founders with Replit apps for a while now and have posted a few guides here too.. Check out my profile.

If you have an MVP on Replit and need help launching it faster, moving it to your own hosting, fixing slow pages, or making it more stable, happy to help.

Usually it’s not a huge rebuild. Sometimes it just needs cleanup, better structure, optimized queries, and proper deployment.

Happy to chat if anyone is at that stage.

(UPDATED)

Hello Replit Team,

First of all, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you’ve been building. I’ve been using Replit for a while now, and it has honestly allowed me to bring ideas to life much faster than I ever could before.

I’m reaching out because I started building my current project before the new native mobile app capabilities became available inside Replit. Right now, my platform is a full web app, and it already works really well as a mobile experience when users add it to their home screen as a PWA.

However, now that Replit supports building native mobile apps, I was wondering if you currently have or are planning to release a way for developers like us to convert existing Replit web applications into actual native mobile apps through your system.

I imagine there are many users who started projects before this feature existed, and it would be amazing if there were some sort of migration path, wrapper solution, or conversion workflow that could help turn our existing projects into native apps without having to rebuild everything from scratch.

My project already has:
- A fully functional mobile-responsive interface
- Authentication systems
- APIs and backend logic
- Database integrations
- PWA/home screen support

So I’m mainly curious whether Replit has plans to help bridge existing web apps into the newer native app ecosystem.

I’d love to hear if this is already possible, currently in development, or something being considered for the future.

Thank you again for all the work your team is doing.

Best regards,
Julio Garcia

NOW HERE IS THEIR RESPONSE DIRECTLY FROM REPLIT’S SUPPORT TEAM:

Hi Julio! Thank you for reaching out to Replit Support.

There's currently no way to convert an existing Replit web app into a native mobile app. Web apps and mobile apps use different underlying technologies (HTML/CSS/JavaScript vs. React Native), so the mobile app type has to be selected when starting a new project from scratch.

Replit's multi-artifact feature, which allows a web app and mobile app to share the same backend in a single project, is also only available in newly created projects. Adding a mobile artifact to a pre-existing web app project is not yet supported.

To create a native mobile app, you'd need to start a new project and select "Mobile app" as the app type. You can reference your existing backend code and logic when building out the mobile version with Agent, but the frontend will need to be built as a native React Native experience.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Regards,
Quinn

TO WHAT I ALSO RESPONDED WITH THIS:

Hi Quinn,

Thank you for the detailed response, I really appreciate it.

I’m not going to lie though… it does kind of feel like us early adopters got left behind a little bit 😂

A lot of us spent months, building full platforms on Replit before the mobile app option existed, and now that native apps are available, it feels tough knowing the only path is essentially starting over from scratch on the frontend side.

I completely understand that web apps and React Native are different technologies underneath, but I do hope the Replit team considers creating some sort of migration or bridge solution in the future for existing projects.

Even something that could:
- convert parts of the UI structure,
- allow adding mobile artifacts to older projects,
- or help wrap existing PWAs into a native shell

would honestly be huge for developers like us who have been building on Replit from the beginning.

One of the reasons many of us chose Replit was because of how fast and accessible it made development, especially for non-traditional developers and founders trying to build real products. So having a path forward for existing projects would mean a lot.

Either way, thank you again for the transparency and for taking the time to explain everything.

Best regards,
Julio Garcia

IF THEY SAY ANYTHING BACK ILL UPDATE HERE

FINAL RESPONSE FROM THE REPLIT TEAM:

Hi Julio! Thank you for your feature request regarding a migration or conversion path for existing web apps to native mobile apps. The team really appreciates feedback like this from our users as it helps us understand what would make Replit better for you. I'll make sure your suggestion is noted.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!

Regards,
Quinn

6 things I check in Replit apps before going to production
Been helping founders take Replit apps to prod lately. Replit is great for shipping a first version fast.. the jump to prod is mostly about tightening things up. Here’s what I usually look at..

1. Console logs. The agent leaves debug logs in. Quick pass to clean them up and make sure nothing sensitive is logging to the browser.

2. Where secrets live. Replit Secrets are fine on the server. Just check none are being pulled into client code. If the browser can see it, rotate it.

3. Plan for portability. Replit DB, Auth, and Storage are convenient early on. If you’ll eventually move to Railway, AWS, or your own infra, swapping in Postgres, a standard auth provider, and S3-compatible storage early saves a rewrite later.

4. Protect the flows that matter. No need for a big test suite. Just cover login, payments, uploads, anything touching cusotmer data. Keeps the agent from quietly breaking something while fixing something else.

5. Split up the big files. Most apps I see have a routes file a few thousand lines long and components doing a bit of everything. Breaking them up makes changes safer, and the agent works better with smaller files too.

6. Pull repeated logic into one place. Same check or query copy pasted in five spots means one bug becomes five. Easy to clean up.

7. Make sure your prod database is actually being used. Replit gives you a seperate prod database now, but I wouldn’t just assume your live app is hitting it.

Quick way to check: sign up a new user on the live app, then go look at the users table in prod and see if the record actually showed up. If its not there, you’re still writing to dev. While you’re in there, turn on backups too.

Replit is excellent for the first version.. going to production is mostly about tightening things up so the codebase can keep growing.

For those building on Replit, where does your app usually need cleanup first?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The billing invoice method seems shady.

Everyone here probably knows Replit at this point. It’s been around for years and the whole browser IDE + AI agent setup is pretty well understood.

But I recently came across Emergent while looking into newer tools, and it feels like a completely different approach.

From what I understand:

• Replit still leans toward writing and controlling code yourself
• Emergent seems more like describing what you want and getting a full app back

So now I have a bunch of questions:

• Has anyone here actually used Replit vs Emergent for a real project?
• Is Emergent something you’d trust beyond MVPs?
• Do you lose too much control compared to Replit?
• Or is it actually faster once things get complex?

I tried a bit myself, and something like Emergent felt more like progressing toward a full product rather than just generating code, which was interesting.

But also it’s new, so not sure how it holds up long-term.

Would you actually switch from Replit to something like this, or is Replit still the safer bet?

Curious what people who’ve actually used both think.

Love Replit, and I don’t want to quit on it, I’ve made some great projects with it. But it’s getting near impossible to continue supporting them through the platform.

This new Task system has made the agent 10x dumber. It is constantly confusing itself, bringing up old Tasks at random, the Task Plans it writes now are almost always lower quality than the old plan mode.

My agent has basically completely forgotten how to work on my project. I’m trying to hold out hope for improvement, but it gets to a point that I question what am I spending over a grand a month for.

Love you, Replit, hope to see this improve soon so I don’t have to migrate my projects

I’ve been trying to build an app in Replit and I’m running into a brutal issue that’s making it basically unusable.

For about a week now, the AI agent has been constantly stuck in a “working” state indefinitely. Sometimes it’ll sit there for minutes or hours without producing anything. Other times it eventually outputs code, but then it starts repeating the same fixes, rewriting the same files, undoing previous progress, or cycling through the same errors over and over.

The frustrating part is that it works great for a little while, then suddenly becomes unusable mostly when I need something done quickly haha.

I've tried reseting the app, opening a new browser, using it on Crome, using it on my phone, private mode, but nothing helps.

I also cannot get into shell or connect via SSH the screen just loads. I was trying to tranfer it over to Claude two weeks ago but the GitHub tool wouldnt work - any insight on this would be super helpful as well.

Has anyone actually found a reliable workflow to prevent the endless “working” state and looping behavior?

Would appreciate any advice because right now I’m spending more time fighting the tool than building. I made a ticket but support has not responded to any of them so I guess they just go into a black hole.

Thank you!
