Build a newsletter and podcast site with Replit

A creator got a clickable prototype in 10 minutes but spent 10+ hours failing to put it on a custom URL, until Val Town staff helped launch the MVP.

What they did

The author chose to build the site for their podcast and newsletter with AI tools instead of Squarespace. Replit produced a clickable prototype in about 10 minutes. Connecting it to a custom URL then stalled for more than 10 hours. Val Town staff offered to pair program with them using Val Town's tools, and together they got the MVP site live.

How it went

The MVP site launched with Val Town's help. The Replit custom-URL step was the failure, costing over 10 hours of going in circles. Episode population is still untested.

Worth knowing

Budget for the custom domain step: the prototype took minutes, but deployment to a custom URL took over 10 hours and outside help.
