I’m looking for 5 beta testers for DevComply — a tool I built with Agent that adds full legal docs (Privacy Policy, Terms, EULA, Cookies Policy) to your Replit app with one prompt.
Why?
Most indie apps launch without any legal protections - risky, undermines user trust, and is a red flag for future investors. I built DevComply after seeing vibecoders struggle with AI-generated junk and sketchy copy/paste jobs. And outside counsel are prohibitively expensive for most startups.
Thanks all for the feedback. In last night’s vibecode session I massively simplified the home page so you can generate your privacy policy and legal docs with one click. Hope it’s useful for folks here!
This is amazing! Ran into this exact problem (even more complex being a South African vibe coder looking for payment gateways). Also love the look & feel!
Went through it - really nice. I like it. Just captured one screen issue, but overall, very smooth. Of course, password reset isn’t working, but I’m having a heck a time with authentication with my apps on Replit. I hope this works out well for you.
Thanks Dave, much appreciated, and I’m glad it worked well for you.
Thanks for catching the UI bug, I’ll add to the backlog!
Auth is indeed a pain! I ended up using Supabase which is pretty good but requires a lot of customisation, and reset is on the to do list. If you do need to reset password I believe I can trigger a reset link for you, feel free to message me directly on this.
If I may ask one more question please. I already have authentication in place but it is not really working completely. Would you recommend I use the Agent to switch it out to the Firebase authentication methodology/process?
You speak my language. The real question is if they hold up in court(s)…
Does this work for creating NDA’s as well? Maybe some patenting legalese as well? You could really have something here… IMO this is the type of service this space needs…
Thanks @jsull91, appreciate it! Right now, it’s just focused on privacy policies and terms of use. I’m gathering feedback to see if there’s interest in the dev/vibecode community. So far, seems like a lot of vibecoders are “vibe-complying” using ChatGPT.
I actually think Replit could differentiate vs. Lovable etc. by natively generating privacy policy/terms, as Agent understands your codebase and what your app does. Right now, Agent is “greenlighting” apps that have zero legal protection and may not comply with privacy laws, which is risk for everyone. I have reached out to their General Counsel on this and am waiting to hear back.
I wonder if privacy/legal is on the roadmap, now Replit has launched security scans, @kody-replit?
IMO the “vibe-compliance” you speak of isn’t actually a vibe-coder experience. For example, I just started this whole “vibe coding” bit and while on the surface it’s really fun and exciting with how quickly I can move now (especially with my visual impairments). However, there are some fundamental flaws with just “vibe coding” your way through a project and the legalese is at the bottom of that list. Especially, for larger scale applications. There are things that LLM’s just don’t handle well and don’t code well. It’s mundane things that the coder who has little to no formal training would notice but at the end of the day stacks up and then suddenly you realize you have to start over because of a buildup of little architectural or design flaws. Or even worse you push it through and someone is able to maliciously attack you and you can’t fix it because you don’t have that formal experience or help…
Again just my humble opinion (not a legal opinion wink wink nudge nudge), however, the last few years I’ve been in the space I learned that a lot of developers don’t grasp the legalese that binds them to reality (honestly it happens to me). It’s actually a problem in the entire industry that I really think you might have more than you think here…
If you’d like me to share some of my experiences within the developing community/ classes that might be useful tid bits for marketing purposes please feel free to reach out.
Speaking my truth, this puts a huge damper on development of anything to try and “sell”. The communities and audiences I’m aiming to pitch too won’t take kindly to a half baked terms and conditions section. Neither would I.
