450+ Integrations, Now Easier to Find. Jacob Erdy from Replit's design team walks us through the redesigned integrations page: two-tab layout (All Integrations to discover, Your Integrations to manage), one-click setup, native badging on first-party connectors, and dedicated per-integration pages for connectors and MCP servers.
Builder Spotlight: Cedric Roberge, founder of Pep AI. A college student at the University of Oregon, Cedric built Pep AI solo on Replit and hit $50K+ in revenue in his first 7 weeks. He walks us through the full playbook: how he found the trend, why he chose this niche, how he built the app on Replit + Claude + Firebase + RevenueCat + Resend, his influencer-led launch strategy, and what's working now to scale toward $1M/month.
Plus This Week in Replit:
