Migrate from Replit Agent when you need code you can host elsewhere
Replit Agent ships hosted apps inside Replit. OOretz Factory ships a downloadable Next.js + libSQL workspace you can run anywhere Next.js runs — no Replit account, no hosted dependency.
Before you start
- ·Your existing Replit project (Repl URL or downloaded zip)
- ·An OOretz Factory account
Steps
- 01~5 min
Download your Replit project
In Replit, hit the three-dot menu → Download as zip. Skim the package.json / requirements.txt — these tell you the dependency surface.
- 02~10 min
Describe what your app does, not what it's called
The factory builds from manifests, not from code reuse. Describe the entities, workflows, and surfaces — same way you'd brief a contractor who never saw your Replit project.
💡 TipReplit projects often grow organically; the names drift. Re-describing from scratch usually surfaces cleaner entity boundaries.
- 03~2 min
Keep the surface as web
Replit Agent defaults to hosted web. The factory's web pipeline produces a downloadable workspace you can run anywhere Next.js runs (Vercel / Cloudflare Pages / Docker / your server). Desktop and mobile surfaces are roadmap.
- 04~8 min
Approve and wait for the build + smoke
Web builds take 4-12 minutes including npm install, next build, server launch, and the POST + GET smoke. The factory verifies the running server on the bridge before marking the job pass.
- 05~3 min
Hand off the workspace
Download the .tar.gz from the Delivery panel. Hand it (or its repo) to your customer. They `npm install && npm run dev` to run locally, or deploy with the recipes in the generated README (Vercel, Docker, self-host). No Replit account needed.
✓ Expected outcome
Your customer runs your app without needing a Replit account, login, or hosted URL. Plain Next.js + libSQL workspace, deployable anywhere. Desktop and mobile outputs are roadmap on our side.
Troubleshooting
Replit Agent built things automatically I didn't describe+
The factory is more literal. If you want auth / database / file storage, mention them in the prompt. The interview chat will ask follow-ups.
I want to keep Replit for the IDE experience+
You can. Use Replit Agent for prototyping in-IDE; use OOretz Factory when you need a downloadable workspace. Many teams use both for different stages.
