What is the best Vibe Coding tool so far? Bonus points if we've never heard of it!
by•
I might be missing some but I've been pretty much in love with @Lovable, @Cursor, @bolt.new and have been trying to use @Replit more and I honestly haven't touched @BASE44 too much but have heard good things. @chrismessina has nudged me to use @Windsurf for whenever I build another Raycast Extension!
Currently I use:
- @bolt.new / @Lovable
- @Cursor
- @Warp
Curious what everyone thinks is the top one so far!

@Cursor is what I've ended up using now for 9 months or more - and I'm very satisfied with the experience after trying GH Copilot, WindSurf and initially just using ChatGPT and having to manually paste code into editors like WebStorm (that was in early 2024). I have moved my whole dev team to Cursor and productivity has accelerated tremendously. My own personal workflow involves using vzero.dev from @Vercel to create UI mockups (it is one of the best tools for that) and I use screenshots of the mockups to help drive Cursor to create entire components (and even 2 full apps!). I've written up some notes on my workflow on my blog here if that is helpful (https://www.robotmunki.com/blog/ai-coding-workflow).
@Zed with Claude is awesome!

what's retention on Lovable?
I swear by Cursor as I am about to release my first iOS app, completely build with cursor (code rabbit added to this), GitHub for codebase and pipeline with Firebase connection. I have no coding experience so this took me 2 months from start to finish. I will start a thread on it within a couple of days for the launch of the app! The reason why I choose for an iOS app was the fact that I wanted to see if I could do something like that, I’m not sure if this is was the best decision as I need to decide to also develop it for android later haha but hey I started somewhere.
What do you think is the best solution to build an application to use on all devices?

I'm surprised no one's mentioning @Claude for code completion and suggestions - it's been a game-changer for me in terms of productivity. Its AI-driven suggestions are often more accurate than those of @Replit or @Lovable. Has anyone else tried integrating it with their IDE of choice?

Really depends what you are trying to achieve.
My team uses @Cursor daily and can't speak highly enough of it.
I use @Lovable if I want really quick proof of concept stuff - but I'm not a fan of the code it spits out. If it's a larger project that needs design/prototyping then we start with @UXPin Merge of course.
I need to dive into @Replit and @bolt.new a little more.

I know nothing about coding, yet I built my own food recommendation app using vibe coding—thanks to @Cursor
