This is mostly aimed at people who don't have the luxury of coding from a computer.

> We partnered with @TeamMindjoy to test the app by teaching girls how to code in a South African township and we made a video about it. During this time the wifi was super unstable and the few laptops they had were unusable, but kids continued to code on $100 Android phones!

Yes we have stories from all over the world where people are using mobile to build real things. There is a kid in Egypt, for example, that built discord bots for a living on his phone.

Additionally there are also lots of cases were fairly well off folks with access to desktop computers and wifi that find themselves with a phone and want to prototype an idea or make a quick change to a project. I’ve been using it and I find it relaxing to lay back on the couch and do some fun coding. Especially with Ghostwriter (our Copilot-like thing: https://blog.replit.com/ai) it’s super usable. I built large part of my toy Lisp in Python in the app while in the park, waiting at the doctor’s office, or simply relaxing after a long day: https://replit.com/@amasad/Lisp-in-Python

I use google remote desktop to check on some IDE code and sometimes need to type a bit of code and the default keyboard is useless...

I'd pay just for the joystick keyboard.

I appreciate the spirit but you are going to destroy your eyes doing that. At least grab a tablet.

I’m pretty nerdy but you win by a wide margin

Unless I'm doing something wrong it seem that you still have to be online to create and run code.
