Replit is a cloud-based development environment that allows users to write and run code in the browser. The company was founded by Amjad Masad while he was studying Computer Science, with the goal of creating an easy-to-use platform for sharing and running code. Initially called "JSRepl", it evolved into a full-featured code editor and programming environment with features like interactivity, fast boot times, and reproducibility. The company has grown significantly since its inception and is now developing a new path by inventing a completely portable and multiplayer programming environment and compute infrastructure. To commemorate this growth, Replit is moving from "repl.it" to "replit.com". Despite the change in domain, nothing else changes for users, who will remain logged-in with automatic redirects. The company prefers to be referred to as "Replit", with a pronunciation of rep-lit.
