My Way To YC Day: - 17 Choosing the Tool

 Building with Emergent


So I fed the same PRD User Journey all the tools I was testing, the results are different.

I'm a pretty tech person, but ...   

Replit: 

I like how Replit creates the design:


Cons: it doesn't have it's own keys for APIs or testing purposes, I need to provide mine. 
At on moment it stopped I mean the Free version, and asking for money. 

Bolt:
How an I trust this guy ? :) Show me something... 


Lovable




Looks similar to Replit, but it created the Log, Sign page, and this static page only:



Claude

I like how Claude approache, agile, step by step... very ood for MVP building 



Not so user-friendly for non-tech, it's not all in one.



Gemini

I like to create Gems, to test ideas
However, for a proper app, it's not all in one; it's for someone who knows how to use GitHub, Docker, etc. 


Emergent

The fact that they give you some free credits allows you to test it, 

Also is much more user-friendly for non-tech persons,it's all in one, it allows you to use their API keys, it gives you different perspectives etc
I mailed them to ask or more free credits :) as our app was chosed for their Vibecon.. zero empathy :) 

Bought 100 credits, will see how much I can do with them. 

What I don't like 
I think it would be more productive if it asks you in a more guided way what you would like to build. 
Also, the design is not so good,I fed it with the design from Replit :) it replicated very well.. 

For now it's my best Dev and partner I hired :) 






Bubble.io

I'm thinking predominantly visually, so this tool is my preferred.. 
I can't always tell in words that I'm thinking, and it's much slower to verbalize, and the risk of being misunderstood is higher. 

I like how easy I can control everything in Bubble compared to Emergent. Sometimes I'm tired of talking :)

If Bubble adds the best from vibe-coding, leaving the visual approach, it will be the best.

Also, A BIG Pro for Bubble, you can build, view, and test your app for free.

My Way To YC Day: - 21

 Goal: To find the tool I started to build the app using Bubble.io , which I've been using for the last 6 years.  After a YouTube video made by YC about Emergent, I just gave it a try, with one of my ideas and I was amazed how fast it was.   So to speed up the production, even if I like the bubble way of building, I decided to test a few vibe-coding tools.  Emergent Replit Bolt Lovable Claude  ______ Earlier, I made a document describing User Journeys' pain points etc, based on my talks with users.  I asked Grok to check this domain and to grab actual talks, complaints etc Combining all of that, was used to create a PRD, User Journey documentation that could be used as a Prompt for Vibe coding tools. Here is the PRD Search Paint Points Prompt Defining the Solution  _________ These were used to create a Landing Page and a PRD Prompt for the vibe coding tools.  I was bootstrapping so one criteria was how much is possible to build with 0$ After ...
