- Sign in to your account at replit.com and go to replit.com/developer-frameworks. Choose React Javascript from the list.
- Click Remix. When the Privacy option prompts, choose the default (Public) and click Use Framework.
- Wait for Replit to set up the environment, then click the Open Files icon in the top-right corner and click File tree.
- Review the generated project structure - Replit creates a src folder containing App.jsx and main.jsx by default. The App.jsx is where your main component logic lives.
- Click App.jsx to open it in the editor and start building your UI - for example, a dashboard component that displays a Q3 performance summary for a SaaS team.
- Click the Run button at the top of the workspace. Replit compiles the app and launches it in the Preview panel on the right.
- To add a package, ask the Agent - for example, "Add React Router to this project" - and it will install it and update your dependencies automatically.

Why this matters
Creating a React app on Replit lets you prototype and deploy web applications instantly without a local development setup. You skip the usual friction of configuring Node.js, managing dependencies, or dealing with build tools. The real advantage goes beyond convenience: Replit's collaborative environment lets you share live previews immediately, gather feedback in real-time, and iterate faster than traditional workflows allow. This makes it particularly valuable for rapid experimentation, client demos, or teaching scenarios where setup time kills momentum.
