Ah cool. Do you have any examples online of how you use it?

Here's an example: https://repl.it/repls/RustyInsecureEngines. I don't have any previous examples that I can find, as I don't usually use it while logged in. Essentially, I use it to help customers out when they're having issues integrating my API product. Real easy to create a repl and send them a link.
Edit: relevant repl slug is relevant.
Oh awesome. You can probably also use it for docs. You can now hide keys in a .env file https://repl.it/site/docs/secret-keys.
Edit: lol re slug. Sometimes I think the title gen aglo is prescient
Didn't notice you were the founder, nice. I'll check out the link.
Semi-related:
I've been wanting to give my customers the ability to write/deploy their own webhook handlers, because that's a big roadblock for those that don't have any web/server experience.
Been thinking it'd be cool to embed a repl for that (with a "starter" handler per-language), to handle editing/deployment, but I haven't dug too much into that to see if it'd be possible.
Been meaning to reach out to your team but I keep putting it off. Like I said, love your platform and been fun watching you grow. :)
