What will be standard in no-code AI app builders that offer prompt > fully functional SaaS products?
Now, since some do these things, while others charge every bit as much without these features, I already expect that they have:
Built-in Github commit
Credit rollovers (e.g. if I do not use all credits in a paid plan, they are added to the next month - indefinitely)
Nothing that tries to keep my project within their ecosystem and then expects that as my business scales, I pay them more.
As Lovable, Bolt, v0, Base44, Bubble, Make, etc. jostle to out-do each other and be the one that we pay for, I think we will soon see:
Back-end solutions that guide non-technical creators through the steps to ship a SaaS product that is actually ready to scale to take on real traffic
Pre-emptive best-price/best-solution external solution-shopping, such as for white-listed bulk emailing and available domain search.
what is the best in class way to let claude / codex etc view the browser?
if i use claude or codex, i constantly am screen capping to show bad padding / alignment / whatever. is there a defacto way to let claude or codex tool call to see the browser or render a page for themselves?
What's your prompt engineering workflow?
Hey makers!
I've been deep in prompt engineering lately while building an AI tool, and I'm genuinely curious about how others approach this.
A few questions:
1. Do you save your best prompts somewhere? Notion, text files, dedicated app, or just copy-paste from chat history?
2. How do you iterate? Do you have a systematic approach or just tweak until it works?
3. Different prompts for different models? Or do you use the same prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini?
4. Text vs image prompts do you treat them completely differently?
I've noticed I was doing the same optimizations over and over (adding role, being more specific, structuring output format), which made me wonder if everyone has their own "prompt formula."
Would love to hear your workflows!
Aqua Voice vs Wispr Flow
I'm a big fan of voice dictation apps. In fact, I'm using one right now to write this very post (you'll have to wait till the end to see which one I'm using )
The two main products I've used in this space are @Aqua Voice and @Wispr Flow. From talking to others, these are the two that I typically hear people mention using. In general, I hear a lot more people talk about using Wispr Flow.
How many of you has built and monetise an actual SaaS product that you vibe coded?
Were you able to build and monetize the product?
Please avoid answering the question if -
You've built just another Product Hunt Spinoff or any other directory.
You're monetizing by selling prototypes just like agencies.
Any other kind of business where you are charged to display ads.
It'll be good to see if people could monetize a real SaaS product that they vibe coded.
What is actually a “complex problem” for LLMs?
I keep seeing advice like use this model for the easy stuff and that one for complex problems. But it makes me wonder what really counts as a complex problem for an LLM?
For us, complex usually means lots of steps, deep reasoning, or tricky knowledge. But for AI, the definition might be different. Some things that feel easy for us can be surprisingly hard for models, while things that seem tough for us (like scanning huge datasets quickly) might be trivial for them.
Looking for beta testers: Built CodeRide to solve AI context amnesia
After rebuilding the same project three times because AI forgot my architecture, I got fed up and built @CodeRide (Beta) with my team.
The problem: AI code assistants lose track of your project between sessions. Every time I start coding with Cursor, Claude, or any AI assistant, I waste time re-explaining my codebase structure, architectural decisions, and coding patterns.
What we built: The project management tool for coding agents using MCP. Upload your project documentation or PRD, and CodeRide breaks it into optimized, fully contextual tasks ready for your AI agent.
How do I figure out what my app is actually doing?
I've been vibe coding for a few months as a non-coder and I'm still annoyed with the fact that I can't understand what's happening under the hood.
I've got a decent understanding of code but I can't actually write it and I don't know the best practices for stuff like architecture and security which apparently aren't baked into most vibe coding tools. So my question is...
"Vibe coding" for non-coders
Recently I've worked with a group of non-corders trying to "vibe code" their apps with AI.
While knowing code is clearly not a must these days, it helps to get technical.
People who were familiar with basic software engineering concepts were 10x more likely to success and get better results.
So, with the hope of providing value to the non-coders people, I've created a quick roadmap for the basic terms and concepts you should be familiar with.
Requirements: Building apps with AI is all about being able to clearly guide AI and express your app features and requirements.
You need to be able to express those ideas and explain them as you d explain to a human developer. Think like a Technical Product Manager.Frontend: The face of your app.
It's what your users see and interact with. It could be a website, a mobile app, or a desktop app. Most popular frontend libraries and frameworks are React, Next.js.UIs: They are the buttons, the forms, the modals, the tooltips, etc. In React, the UI is built with components. For design & styling, Tailwind CSS is the most popular library.
For animations, Framer Motion is the most popular library.-
Packages & npm: Apps are not built from scratch.
They are built on top of existing libraries and frameworks, like lego blocks.The most popular package manager is npm. For example, "react-hook-form" is a famous package that helps you build forms.
-
Backend: The backend is the part of your app that runs on the server.
It's where you store your data, your business logic.
e.g: If you want to send an email, or process payments - this is where you'll do it.
Vibe tip: Use minimal backends with serverless functions.
-
Database: The database is where you store your data.
It's where you store your users, your projects, your tasks, etc. Think of it as a big spreadsheet.
I recommend using a database that is integrated with your frontend.
For example: Fine, or Supabase.
-
API: Real-life apps almost always need to integrate with other apps.
For example: if you want to send email, or get weather data, or integrate with AI - it's all done through APIs.
-
Hosting & Deployment: For your app to be accessible to the public, you need to host it.
The code is usually hosted on GitHub, and deployed to platforms like Fine, Vercel, Netlify.
Finally, being comfortable with code is helpful - even if not a must.
AI often makes minor mistakes (like importing a wrong package), and if you re not afraid of reviewing code - you will get better results faster.
Is AI quietly saturating SaaS… or am I overthinking this?
Lately it feels like every week there s a new AI-powered SaaS launching.
Same landing page formula.
Same promises.
Same 10x productivity pitch.
And what s interesting is the number of products keeps increasing but I m not sure demand is increasing at the same rate. It feels like we re repackaging the same value just slightly different positioning.
New UI.
Different niche angle.
Built for X .
