What they did
A café and coffee-roaster owner in Australia with little coding background used Replit Agent to build AssetShark, an asset-tracking and depreciation app that uses the Australian Taxation Office's rates. It has a React front end, a Node back end with login, a content system, an admin dashboard and a free calculator that brings in leads.
How it went
He says it was a hard slog before December 2025, then went from buggy to a working product in weeks. He opened a beta with 50 spots.
Worth knowing
