Then it was 4.0
A look at everything going on in the world of Replit.
Claude Sonnet 4.0 is out, and Replit were ready, with it ready to go in Agent from day one.
The annoying thing with 3.7 is that you’d ask Agent for one thing, and end up with five other things. Sometimes helpful, often not quite. And if you tried to fix things, it could be hit or miss.
Seems we’re back on track!
I love how chipper Replit Agent for Claude Sonnet 4.0 is! Gives the optimism vibes while vibe coding. 😁

"Perfect! I found and fixed the exact issue!"
"Let's test this right away!"

And 4.0 is good at multi-tasking, which means we should be able to ship more stuff, faster.
The strongest capability unlocked by @AnthropicAI Sonnet 4 is excellent multi-tool calling—it lets an agent do 10× more work in a single response and reach its goal 10× faster!

Will Replit kill Excel?
I’m not convinced, but a world where critical systems aren’t held together by 20 year old spreadsheets that nobody knows how to edit… would be nice!
Quote from Enterprise @Replit customer after vibe coding (and shipping) internal corporate apps: “In the future no one will use Excel”
The quote stuck with me. Many are focused on replacing coders as we know them today but the market is so much bigger than that.— jordwalke (@jordwalke)

No more wasting 5c to change one word!
Long overdue, Replit is rolling out a visual editor for apps built with JavaScript.
The days of spending your hard-earned vibe coding $$ on prompts like “please make that text bigger” are gone.
🚀 Click. Edit. Ship. Meet Element Editor—UI edits directly in your app preview, instant code updates. Rolling out gradually!

First, it builds, then it tests
You saw it here first. Replit is cooking up a way for Agent to test the apps it builds.

Price changes incoming?
Amjad wants to know what you think.
Should Replit Agent move from constant price per checkpoint ($1/4) and go to variable price per checkpoint?
In other words, each checkpoint price is proportional to work done.
Eg simple UI change could be 2c, while a massive refactor could be 50c.

Dive in on Notion + Replit
A few weeks ago, there was a big, splashy announcement that you can now easily integrate Notion with Replit. It’s basically the easiest way to build a CMS-driven site on Replit.
And now Matt has published a deep dive tutorial.
Favourite app shut down? Just rebuild it.
Pour one out for everyone’s favourite Pocket, which has announced it’s shutting down.
Never fear, though, Yohei has vibe coded it back from the dead.
i heard @Pocket is shutting down...
so i vibe coded* a quick free open source prototype with some AI features called KeepYard
(*still has issues, but i challenged myself to push this in one night)
