keccers are we about to start a vibecoding podcast??
i have a lot to say about this lol
i don't use replit and i mostly build mini apps on farcaster, but i have built web apps before mini apps came out this year
deployment and backend are still tough w no experience for the beginner
a lot of the things i built (i) i deployed once and then added more pages for new ideas and (ii) simply didn't have a backend, just hacked my way around that
working w api endpoints is much easier so that's where i'd recommend starting, but watch out for rate limits
this definitely limits the possibilities for your app - you can find someone to help you but then you kind of need to learn the ins and outs of a new skill (e.g. databases)
short answer: never been easier to build an interactive website, but apps are still complex organisms with lots of moving parts that can break (vibes notwithstanding)
