January 2018 Summaries

At Repl.it, our mission is to make programming more accessible by partnering with non-profits like Re-coded, which teaches programming in refugee camps in Iraq and Turkey. Re-coded uses Repl.it as a platform for live coding, facilitating their selection process, creating personalized homework assignments, and allowing students to follow along with saved code links. The tool's flexibility, portability, and minimal network overhead make it an integral part of Re-coded's tech stack, enabling seamless switching between programming languages and supporting the organization's goals in providing a world-class education to refugees and displaced persons.

The developers at Repl.it have introduced a new feature that allows users to easily share their web creations with others by automatically hosting them under a subdomain with their name, providing a simple way for the community to showcase and collaborate on projects. The company plans to expand this service to host various apps and servers in the future.
