What do you use to vibe-code applications?
I have used a few products to vibe-code my applications. The first one I used was Chatgpt. From this, I created my first application and it had a very average UI. I was using nextjs for frontend and backend, so for me, the backend part took time but it was decent.
The second product which is good enough for me currently is Gemini. This creates a very good UI and backend at the same time. The first time I used it, it was a super upgrade in the UI. I also used Lovable to create one practice project, but I don't know why I did not used again.
I also heard people's suggestion of using different AI's like claude, cursor etc. but moving in to a different platform has some friction.
What AI is most used or easiest to build an application? I recently heard of a new AI called Emergent, which creates the whole application with a single prompt.

Replit was great for a web app, but when i tried to migrate it to ios it repeatedly failed because replit owned the clerk and stripe links. I then moved to codex on my laptop, with some success, but once i could use work, and harness codex in a project space, i moved forward exponentially, and then a steep curve when astra came along. i launched ios three days ago, and already have users testing my android app whilst i wait for google play to move its cogs.
I have only used ChatGPT Plus and Microsoft Copilot Premium. Both with a SQLite backend with coding in Python, JavaScript and HTML.
I use the Wasmer SDK for letting the agents create Node.js and Python servers fully on the browser.
I believe it will empower the next generation of Lovables.
