How to pick vibe coding tools

Pick one AI tool to build with

App builders like Lovable, Bolt and v0 make a whole app from a prompt. AI editors like Cursor and Windsurf help you change real code.

Use tools the AI knows well

Popular tools like Next.js, Tailwind CSS and Supabase have lots of examples, so AI writes better code for them.

Add sign-in and payments early

Clerk and Stripe save you weeks of work. Check the price of each tool before you launch.

Common questions

What is vibe coding?

Vibe coding is building software by telling an AI what you want, then testing and fixing what it makes. You still need to check the result.

Should I use Cursor or Lovable?

Lovable is easier if you don't write code: it builds the whole app for you. Cursor is better if you want to see and change the code yourself.

Can I launch a real app with vibe coding?

Yes. Use a real database, sign-in and payments, and test your app well before you share it.
