Over the past few months, we've been immersed in learning and experimenting with the hottest AI‑driven programming method: vibe coding—where you describe what you want, and AI builds it for you. There’s no need to write traditional code. Instead, you guide the process using natural language.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or frustrated with code editors—Replit, Cursor, or otherwise—what kept me going was looking at what other people were making using this AI-first approach.

🧰 Best Tools for Vibe Coding (Beginner to Advanced)

Beginner-Friendly Platforms

• ChatGPT or Claude: Ideal for crafting prompts, iterating UI ideas, and debugging small mistakes early on

• Lovable: Great for web interface design and instant deployment

• v0: Perfect for simple app use cases like calculators

• Zapier Agents: Natural-language AI agents that integrate with thousands of tools—fantastic for non‑technical users

Intermediate Options

• Replit: Offers more control, useful if you're technical but still want AI support

• Bolt: End‑to‑end builder with support for Stripe, GitHub, Supabase, Figma, and more

Advanced Tools

• Cursor: A developer-first, AI‑powered IDE—good for fine‑tuning your vibe‑coded app

• Windsurf (formerly Codeium): Optimized for enterprise settings, especially those needing strict security protocols

  
  

🚀 10 Real‑World Vibe Coding Examples

These projects show what’s possible: no deep technical training required—just some curiosity, persistence, and good prompting.

#1 Plywood Cutting Visualizer

Built with Claude. Input plywood dimensions, and the app calculates cuts and leftover scraps—a simple tool that solves a real problem

#2 Resume Scoring Agent

Built with Zapier Agents. Accepts job descriptions and resumes, then scores each resume. An automated helper you can tweak with natural language alone

#3 Portfolio Website

Built with Lovable. Includes a custom chatbot to answer visitor questions about the person behind the site

#4 Supabase Admin Tool (“Dreambase”)

Prototyped using Lovable and v0, then refined in Cursor. Built by moving through different AI platforms in a workflow

#5 Lambo Levels

Built using ChatGPT + Lovable. Visualizes hypothetical crypto gains—a fun, data‑driven app

#6 Taste

A meal catalog and social network, built with Lovable + Cursor. Collaborative prompts created the UI and core logic, then refined in Cursor

#7 SEO calculator

The tool effectively answers prospects' questions, helping Animalz send them to the next step in their marketing funnel.

#8 MIXCARD

Alfred Megally is the independent creative and vibe coder behind MIXCARD, which turns your Spotify playlists into physical postcards.

#9 ttyl

Robinson Greig, Founder of Off-Trail Studio, built ttyl with Cursor as a fun way to send a voice memo to your future self.

#10 WordPress-adjacent apps

Matt Medeiros, Publisher at The WP Minute, has built all sorts of things with Replit and Bolt. And each one reinforces his position as an industry thought leader.

Vibe coding is a game-changing, democratizing approach to software development. It lets anyone with an idea take the first step toward building a working tool—fast. Yet it’s not perfect, especially for complex, production-level applications. Think of vibe coding as the ultimate rapid-prototype builder—a creative playground where language and AI merge to create real tools.

Want to build something yourself? Pick a small project. Write a clear prompt. Choose one of the tools above. And vibe it out—you might surprise yourself.
