repl.it is a god sent for low income students I teach CS to. They only have Chromebooks but can run Python, C++ and more.

My feedback to the team is that please try using it on those slow and small Chromebooks. You'll see how the navbar is eating 20% of vertical space in a 11 inch Chromebook. Make the UI dense. Those kids have sharp eyes!




Chromebooks are one of the primary devices we test on (https://m.imgur.com/a/3eCnqUE)!

That's a good point tho, will discuss with the team.


I have that exact Chromebook! It runs Linux pretty well, but I can see schools not being all to pleased with going in that direction…


Might wanna check out Google colab, if you haven't. I switch between repl.it and colab, depending on what I'm working on.


It's amazing for anyone learning to code. I run my coding school's classes off of Replit Classroom.
