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!

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

Cursor helped deploy multiple websites in very less time. v0 dev is also good for independent tasks or for preparing a boiler plate code. Quick tip: v0's design sense is better than cursor for making MVP type product.

Google AI studio. Absolutely crazy if you know nothing like me. GPT writes the prompts and Google code assistant does the work...oh and it's free
Great thread! I've been using Claude Code + Cursor combo for my projects.
One thing nobody mentions: the security side. AI-generated code introduces patterns that traditional static analysis misses. I've seen Claude grant FullAccess permissions when a simple read was enough, import unverified packages because they looked right, and create path traversal vulns in file upload handlers.
The tools are amazing for speed, but the "accept all" mindset is risky. Been building a scanner specifically for vibe-coded projects — the vulnerability patterns are genuinely different from human-authored code.
Would love to hear if others have run into security surprises with their AI-generated code?
Been bouncing between Cursor and Claude Code lately. Cursor for longer sessions where I need project context, Claude Code for quick scripts.
My hot take: the "best" tool depends on whether you're prototyping or building something you'll maintain. For throwaway projects, speed wins. For production code, I'd add a security scan step before deploy - AI loves to add dependencies it doesn't vet.
cursor + claude is my go-to. i'm a tradie doing cert 4 cyber security — had zero coding experience before AI tools. used cursor to build 4 saas products in about 25 days. the context awareness is unreal once your project gets bigger, it just handles multi-file stuff way better than anything else i tried. bolt was decent for quick prototypes but cursor + claude for anything real.
voted Other — GitHub Copilot + Claude in VS Code. nothing fancy but shipped 4 SaaS products in 25 days coming from zero code background (was a concreter lol). the tool honestly matters less than being crystal clear about what you want to build. actually launching one of those products on PH today — VibeShips, helps vibe coders ship and validate ideas faster. would love feedback from this crew!
