Gitpod is awesome and a really bright team behind it.
However, Repl.it is different in that we're focused on speed and minimal configuration. You don't even need to login to clone a repo and start it.
The URL structure is repl.it/github/<GitHub path>
Try this 2048 implementation in C:
https://repl.it/github/mevdschee/2048.c https://repl.it/github/mevdschee/2048.c
(You can even run it on your phone!)
- whycombagator 7y ago> Try this 2048 implementation in C: https://repl.it/github/mevdschee/2048.c https://repl.it/github/mevdschee/2048.c I did and got: "Failed to connect, retrying"
- amasad 7y agoAre you behind a firewall? Some block websockets. It also could be an aggressive adblocker.
- TumorousJoker 7y agoYup, I can confirm it doesn't play nice with Ad blockers for some reason because it worked on chrome and Firefox on my android phone, but did not work with Firefox focus
- amasad 7y agoThanks -- we'll take a look!
- whycombagator 7y agoAt the time I tried turning off privacy badger and ublock, but the issue persisted.
- MuffinFlavored 7y agoIf the Github repo has a docker-compose.yml file in it, can it spin up all of the containers?
- amasad 7y agoNot yet. But planned
- MuffinFlavored 7y agoI don't see how repl.it doesn't get burned doing that. You could host my entire ELK stack and Postgres database... what would the resource limits be? What would the cost be?
- sansnomme 7y agoI think repl.it is still at the growth and scale stage. Actual profitability probably won't matter much for another couple of years. (They run on Google Cloud so the costs are pretty insane without VC funding.)
- verttii 7y agoPublic sharing of REPLs for anyone even without an account is just awesome. Gitpod or anyone else that I know of doesn't offer this.

- 0x4FFC8F 7y agoOkay this is irrelevant to the discussion but I just typed in `github/mevdschee/2048.c` in the address bar expecting Firefox to perform a Google search but it instead lead me to the repo! What!
- Liquid_Fire 7y agoIf you type something that is not a valid/existing domain, Firefox will try to append .com and/or prepend www. in an attempt to get a valid domain. If that fails, it will do a search. You can configure this via browser.fixup.alternate.* in about:config.
