Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project

So this is when we purchase "fuckreplit.com", offer a far superior clone and watch as the free market does its magic?

Every time I read a story like this I just hope the business dies, and for any employees it's time to jump ship, you really do not want to be working for a CEO who makes comments and threats.

Time to release that source code, have 100 clones appear and let this loser sue everyone into misery - I'm sure his investors won't be best pleased.

For now let's spread this story (make a backup! He'll want this taken down as it's terrible PR!).

Hope replit rots.

I think RIPlit would have better potential at attracting customers than anything using the f-word :)
