How I Used Replit To Vibe Code My Latest App

If you have an idea for an app, you can turn it into reality with Replit.

I used Replit to create Prompt Snips. This is a website where you can share your AI prompts with other users, and it only took me an hour or two to build.

I took out a Replit premium subscription that cost me $25 per month. I used up pretty much all of my monthly credits to build Prompt Snips, which you can visit at promptsnips.com.

Getting Started Takes Minutes, Not Months

Replit works like any AI agent you’ve used. Once you have a subscription, you get access to a chat interface where you can describe the app or site you want to build. It’s good for building web apps, data apps, games, and general web projects.

I wouldn’t describe myself as a developer. So I did this the old-fashioned way.

I wrote up a product requirements document or PRD describing what I wanted Replit to create for me. I told Replit I wanted to create a tool for sharing AI prompts, and it helped me create a PRD.

I wanted third-party feedback on my PRD. So I headed over to ChatGPT, pasted in the Replit output, and asked it to evaluate it. ChatGPT gave me several changes I could make to the document.
