I wanted to equip myself with various AI tools currently in existence to make sure I'm not missing out on amazing things readily available for me to use.
As I've listened to various podcasts and read numerous articles about the latest tech trends, I noticed the term "vibe coding" being thrown around a lot. I began to do my research into this realm and see what it's actually like to vibe code. Just like learning how to ride a bike or play tennis, you really don't know how to use it until you've tried many things with it and failed along the way. Experimentation is the only way to really understand the "essence" of it.
I came across this reddit article: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1kivv0w/the_ultimate_vibe_coding_guide/
Reading through this to get some ideas about what's going on first. What platforms are available and what others may have tried, so that I don't reinvent the wheel.
This guy recommends sticking with tech stacks that are widely used and publicly well documented as AI is trained on public data. His recommendation is as follows.
Next.js (for frontend and APIs) + Supabase (for database and authentication) + Tailwind CSS (for styling) + Vercel (for hosting).
Canvas feature within the hosted AI (like Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity etc)
JavaScript and Python the most widely used coding languages, so using these two will be effective when vibe coding. https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2024/1
It appears it's very important when vibe coding to create a detailed plan for each of the development process. You need to make sure you don't leave any room for AI to guess. Every prompt needs to be explicit and as detailed as possible. So the YouTube video I'm watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7UcVPO4y3c the guy in the video says, use a chat and prompt something like this "Write a detailed plan/spec for a saas app I want to build where I can drop links to articles/youtube videos/research papers. Then it uses AI to summarize each of them and can use relevance search to help me search through all of the stored articles"
Tools that came under my radar:
Grok (xAI)
Base44, Lovable, Replit, Windsurf, Cursor, CLINE
VO (https://v0.app/ for UI/UX layout experimentation) --> https://21st.dev/community/themes (can load standard UI components like buttons and loading bars etc)
Google AI Studio (contains Gemini 2.5 Pro)
