I am building a fantasy sports app with replit. I have no coding experience at all.
We are in the midst of our first live contest in the app. 2025 MLB Playoff Points challenge.
Lightning login and payments aren't live yet but everything else is working well.

Caveat: I had to spend a bit of money to get this far. Your free credits and even a monthly subscription won't get your very far.
Ah, I was in the middle of typing when you updated your post. I was gonna ask if lightning payments are fully integrated, because I'd be super impressed with replit if it were.
How has your experience been in terms of debugging / getting the AI agent to re-do previously done work?
Also, quick feedback, the font is a little hard to read.

Are you viewing on mobile? There are some aesthetic changes I want to make but wanted to get it up and running and make sure contests were working properly.
The majority of time I spend is trying to get the AI to correct things it screws up. It is a tedious process. This is likely where technical experience comes in very handy as an engineer would have a pretty good idea of what is going wrong when something isn't working and can be more precise with the AI agent as opposed to saying "hey I tried to do this and this occurred, that shouldn't happen".
Lightning payments aren't fully integrated yet but @SatSquares has used AI for his football squares and lightning payments are working.

No, i was viewing on desktop. At 100% zoom level the font felt a bit small, and I had a hard time telling "5" from "6" apart. Obviously, everyone's setup is a bit different so it just may be on me.
I joined and predicted Dodgers in 6 btw, haha.
FWIW though, I'm an engineer. I just use AI to hasten the process; physically typing was a huge bottleneck way back when. Now I just tell AI what to do, correct its mistakes real quick and we're off. No more typing huge amounts of code.

If y'all are looking to go that route, I'd shoot for "btcpay integration" rather for "lightning integration."
Btcpay is a better documented piece of software than, say, integrating lightning. That makes it easier for AI to code that up.
