I've been having a lot of fun exploring AI and using tools like @Cursor, @bolt.new, @Lovable, and @Warp to learn how to build and make some apps for myself! I'm also noticing a tremendous amount of growth in folks creating their own apps using these same tools which has me wondering... if a company wanted to acquire someone's app or tool that was built via vibe coding, would it matter how it was built? Does the method of how it was built impact the valuation?
In my idealistic eyes, I'd like to think it doesn't. As an acquisition is often much more than just the tech but also the user base, brand, and even team behind the product. If anything I think that acquiring a product that has been "vibe coded" and putting them into capable engineering hands would only enhance the product...or a least make the code base cleaner.
I also believe that talent that is able to create stunning products with AI is currently a small percentage of folks, and that companies should be investing in acquiring that talent (either independently or via product acquisition) so that they can stay ahead in innovation while learning how to implement AI tools more efficiently in their orgs.
Very curious to hear what you all think!

Every time I read a maker s story on Product Hunt, I feel inspired. The journey from an idea to a real product is both exhilarating and challenging but it all starts with that spark of inspiration.

Some discover a need from Reddit discussions.
Some analyze search trends on SEMrush.
Some just build what they couldn t find themselves.

AI dev tools like Lovable & Bolt.new are great, but are they missing something you really need?

• A must-have feature that s not there?

• A pain point they haven t solved?

I've tested all the major coding tools extensively, and this question keeps coming up. So, I m dedicating this post to clearing any doubts briefly and to the point.

Tldr;

• Lovable excels in workflow efficiency, design precision, and community.

• Bolt offers greater extensibility, particularly with its new mobile support.

Hey everyone!

Excited to be here and connect with like-minded folks!
