@malvoliothegood thanks so much! I saw that Codesandbox integrates with Github so I'm thinking that since one of my React apps essentially embeds my Repls to show as a portfolio, it's a great choice given the limited space for the free plan.
But, on the other hand, unfortunately, I've found that the Uptime Robot method isn't 100% as, sometimes, I still get the "Waking up repl..." screen despite dedicating two monitors to each Repl I've made.
Thanks so much @vedprad1 it looks like it works for two of the three projects I have up so far! My portfolio site that I coded up using the React library was the only one that I had to manually wake up, I'm not sure if it might be because I had the monitor to call the HTTPS server every 5 minutes, but I changed it to 15 minutes just in case! I also noticed that uptime was 100% for my PHP app but much less stable for my React app, is it because the React library requires more resources than either a plain PHP or plain JavaScript app or website?
Thank you so much @eankeen , I appreciate your response! And yes, it does help, I mean I don't necessarily know how to do all of that stuff yet but I suppose figuring it all out is part of the fun after all! But knowing that there won't be as many dependencies, while I don't think it'll load as fast as a PHP project, it's very good to know. But yes, a feature to circumvent all of that would be awesome!
