Hi everyone, first off I want to say I love this platform! I started learning how to code in January of last year. It has been such a rocket launch into building some really cool things. I started coding in replit and haven’t looked back ever since and had to make upgrades to my account.
I use AI to help me code the majority of my projects. Back a year ago the assistant was a new feature, and was instrumental in helping me get my start. It’s been really cool seeing this platform grow over the year, and I can only imagine what you’ve got in your bag of goodies in the next few months. Things are moving so fast, and thank you guys for keeping up, and giving us more and more tools to use, and improving upon them over and over.
One project I made that I’ve launched into a full-scale platform is ChatterCard. It started as a simple digital business card like landing page. I included an ai chatbot onto the card. The idea being that someone wanting to network could share this digital business card to give their clients and prospective clients information about their company essentially a business card that was actually working for them instead of something someone would set down and forget.
I started a youtube channel months ago. I made a how to video for people to make one of the cards for themselves. I offered a public link to the code, and a really cool walkthrough experience geared to help get people’s feet wet with coding, using replit as an ide, integrating ai etc. It was a step by step chat bot that asked the user information about how they wanted to set their card up then gave them structured code back that they could then in turn past over the default in the project and get a taste of coding.
Since I made that video I was asked to do some live demos for people to make them. Then I was asked to make custom ones for people. I figured instead of me manually making these, I wanted to create a platform where users could make their own. Thus ChatterCard was born. This is my first full scale app integrating subscriptions via stripe, firebase for authentication and database and many apis to make a very cool and dynamic platform for users to create their own ChatterCards.
I cannot believe how far I’ve come. I have since been brought onto work for a company as their AI App building guy. I am holding regular classes with them as well as creating another full scale app that hosts a lot of the cool marketing tool applications I’ve built this last year. I teach everyone via replits platform, and I don’t intend on going anywhere. I can’t believe how far I’ve come this year. I took a chance on myself to try something new and I am proving to myself anything is possible. Replit literally has been apart of it every step of the way as I’m working here everyday building, learning and growing.
Go to youtube and search “Build your own AI-Integrated Digital Business Card: Your Guide to Smarter Networking” Ian McDonald’s Disruptiv Solutions is my channel. (since I can only include 2 links figured I’d just tell you how to find me there)
It’s a video giving a walkthrough of creating a digital business card, Everything there was made using replit.
Here’s the link for the public code that goes along with my instructional build walkthrough video if you want to create your own: My Business Card - Replit
LASTLY here’s the most recent version of the app at full scale, this is my CHATTERCARD. Reach out to me if you’d like! I’ve met so many cool people this last year!
Thank you to the replit team so much Ian!
