Undo new Replit UI

Somehow I missed your reply. Big topic. Sorry.
I’ll just go down the list.

  1. I would be okay with the big Repl display if my other concerns were addressed.
  2. I definitely want comments. Adjustments would be nice.
  3. Yes the left sidebar. I like having it be shown and right now it defaults to hide and keeps resetting to hidden. Furthermore it doesn’t mix well with the new UI.
  4. Not something I can logically explain, but when viewing the source code of a Repl the styling and layout seems wrong. This is more personal preference than anything.
  5. Great.
  6. As of right now, you can do this. I do miss the icons though. I get my Repl made with a nice icon and it goes to waste because it only shows the name.
    This is just a random Repl but demonstrates what I’m talking about:

We need an alternative frontend for Replit that:

  1. Is rendered server-side
  2. Is open-source (and NOT using github for version control)
  3. Written using a compiled language (compiled if possible, JS or python would also be fine, but not rust)
  4. Able to work perfectly without JavaScript (and with no missing functionality)
  5. Has a better UI
  6. Is easily customizable

Of course, the editor part doesn’t need to work without JS, but it’d be nice if the rest did.

It’s me too! I don’t like the new code viewing layout, plus the button to view it is small (along with everything else squished into that little sliding menu)

That’s impossible. You can’t connect to WebSockets without JS.

It’d probably be mainly so people could read (not write to) things on replit using browsers without JS (or if they don’t want to download all of replit’s JS).

yeah I dislike it, but people were having trouble finding it so at the same time, I’m glad they updated it.

If you click the posts below the trending section (Following Activ ), it gives you the old UI.
