Fig demo
When Brendan Falk, co-founder of new YC-backed startup, Fig, needed to get an MVP built fast, he turned to Repl.it. At the time he was just a couple months into learning how to code, and then in two weeks, in collaboration with his technical cofounder, Brendan and Fig had a working product that added apps & shortcuts to the local terminal. Read on for more details and imagine the things you can build with Repl.it!

rename streets
As many of you know, our premium, uber-exclusive programming plan has always been named the "hacker" plan. As of recently however, we've been considering changing the name of our deluxe subscription. However, we haven't decided on a good alternative, so we're asking for your opinion! Given how creative you are, what's your idea? Please enter your best idea on this form. If you change your mind you can always come back later.

My flying skills
Most pilots don't have to deal with blimps, missiles, and planes coming at them, but if they did, this would be fantastic practice! In @RhinoRunner's PyGame program, you control a helicopter in a clear blue sky. The only problem is, everyone else is going the other direction! Can you survive all 3 waves of ariel insanity? Find out on their Repl Talk post!
