When we want to support a new technology, we're faced with the question: "Do we (the Replit team) build this capability into the Replit directly, or can our users add it themselves?".
Usually, we want the answer to be the latter.
Repls are like personal computers for your projects.
And the more these personal computers can be customized, the more they'll be used in creative, unexpected ways.
Internally, we refer to the extent to which a Repl can be configured as "Repl Space".
So when we talk about building new features, we always ask "can it be done in Repl Space?", which is basically asking if we can build it on Replit.
Over the past year, Repl Space has become significantly more powerful , and soon, Replit will be one of the most flexible computing platforms on the planet without compromising its simplicity.
Now that we have the technical foundations in place, we're excited to bring more of that power into the product in the form of Templates and some new configuration options.
Templates Where can I find templates?
Whenever you create a Repl, you'll be able to search through our list of Templates and start coding immediately.
