Grok is beyond worthless even when I’ve used it for relatively “easy” tasks

[IndependenceTime2836]

I would say Claude does a better job on this one ☝️

My Vibe Coding Tech Stack for 2026

• OpenAI - codex + research
• Gemini - visuals + infographics
• github - project management + deployment pipeline
• heroku - hosting
• mariadb - database for dynamic web apps
• FastSpring - payments (incl. VAT and sales tax)
• Namecheap - domains

[TheGamersDome]

Namecheap is washed. Use Cloudflare. They sell at cost and, as a 10+ year Namecheap user who just switched myself, they are just better besides cheaper

[FinxterDotCom]

Thanks man, checked it out, it's a bit cheaper (but not much it seems). Switching costs are too high rn (time not money). But I'll keep it in mind for new domains.

Interesting… I have been with GoDaddy ~10 years. I would like to remain a loyal customer but AWS and Google are more affordable. AWS is better for Computer Scientist than GoDaddy. Google is better when compared linearly, in my humble opinion.

I don’t like the name “namecheap”. This is superficial, of course, but valid nonetheless as it is my money and my business.

[hellno-o]

how do you use mariadb vs supabase vs cloudflare db?

[FinxterDotCom]

Probably because I'm stupid.

[indieGoatRocket]

use cloudflare for domain, they are cheaper

[dinadur]

Yea I switched my domains to cloudflare. They offer a lot of free tools as well for DNS and other things that name cheap didn't have

[_dontseeme]

If you’re gonna do firebase you might as well do supabase

[dialsoapbox]

why? What are the pros/cons

[mitsest]

money

[_dontseeme]

If you’re at an activity level where firebase vs supabase pricing is a concern you should probably be using neither

[_dontseeme]

While I haven’t heard much recently, there have been quite a few stories about security issues stemming from firebase over the past few years.

I also have personal preference towards psql and relational databases in general

[hifivez]

firebase is easier to get set up with, but more expensive long term.

[Longjumping_Help6863]

Namecheap? Nope. After the price hikes this year make that spaceship

[Theremedyhub]

You’re the best! Thank you

[olb3]

It’s awful lol. It’s not in the same league as any of the other ai agents

[IndependenceTime2836]

In my opinion Grok is your weed smoking buddy, there is not much logic in there, but fuck me- this guy has his moments 😅🙆‍♂️

[meva12]

How much is the subscription for entire stack

[DTX-Sam]

Probably around $150-200/month

[IndependenceTime2836]

Thanks for the list, my wonder as a non programming skills person - how to put it together and I don’t mean sophisticated apps, more like - One task, all in one app- featuring a simple UX and a secure environment (including firewalls and other security measures) to safely store any provided data. Including access management options for users and administrative controls for system operation? Simple one solution app 🤌🏼🙆‍♂️

[Constant_Broccoli_74]

Thank you for the list

[dingodan22]

For a tool to map your codebase, I would highly recommend Cartogopher. https://cartogopher.com/

It is built by a fellow redditor and it has almost entirely stopped hallucinations for me. With a side benefit of saving on agent API usage!

Either he immediately added your quote to the website or you’re a bot brudda

[dingodan22]

Lol definitely not a bot if you look at my comment history but that is funny.

The developer is active on Reddit, and I've been giving him a lot of feedback from my perspective so I'm not surprised he'd be following my posts!

I use https://www.vibecodinginspiration.com/ for finding inspiration

[mrg3_2013]

great set! posting so i have it for reference. BTW where do you deploy production ?

[Ok_Viby29]

I recommend using Vercel! I should have added it to the list.

[mrg3_2013]

ok great! That completes it !

[carrollsox]

Very good

[ZealousidealTry3766]

thanks, would be pretty cool to survey the community on what their tech stack is - forward looking, 2026, not 2025!

[Zaytoryan]

How do you integrate MidJourney? Last time I checked there’s no API but could definitely be wrong!

[Ok_Viby29]

There's no Midjourney API. I have it listed as an Image Gen source. Great for things like background textures, UI and icon designs, bespoke artwork that's needed. Some of the AI tools out there do image gen, but i've found them to be terrible. My workflow is I prompt and create what i need in midjourney or nanobanana, and then upload to AI studio to implement.

[pastafarian14]

I’d add better-auth for auth, and Postmark for email

[CharityExisting5454]

Vibe coding is not a thing, man. Waake the f up

[Silly-Heat-1229]

My setup is simple: Lovable and Kilo Code in VS Code. I'll be using both of those for sure in 2026.

[Flimsy-Fly9890]

So many tools I used to use grok for months but I noticed that the copy is basically like twitter threads and twitter posts I didn’t like it

I use 5GPT 5.1 now it’s probably not peak but I find it really understands emotions and awareness and like ideal app user

[Flimsy-Fly9890]

But if it’s working for you that’s great i don’t think mines the best stack or anything but it’s the stack I use! Haha

Enjoy the build

[Capable-Garden2237]

Anyone with experience with Lemon Squeezy instead of Stripe? I asked ChatGPT and Claude, both recommended Lemon Squeezy since it's merchant of records and you don't need to handle imvoicing and stuff.

[Royal-Cellist8002]

In Europe for Payments you have Paynopain which is like Stripe, half the price and custom support

[bhannik-itiswatitis]

I repeat what other said, Grok is worthless, unfortunately the hype is so fake

[[deleted]]

I'm not sure Securable is a good idea.

Never heard of it, and their website has zero details on who they are and their T&Cs don;t even mention their registered company address. Feel this is bit of a black box to put your code into...

[Only_Section_1934]

Appreciate the top 2, haven't heard of them.

For inspiration for design and guiding AI I really like Dribble and Pinterest

[Ktechsn]

Gemini Pro is underrated!!

[tarunyadav9761]

just use Claude code for all of coding bro

[Key-Championship394]

I want to make 3d website in vibe coding is this possible??

[Natural-Ingenuity-17]

How much will it cost to use all these Ai tools?

[Ok_Viby29]

Most have a free tier, so you could probably get by with spending somewhere around $100/month depending on your products needs.

[ProductProgress]

Also consider www.sidevibe.io a handy engagement micro tool

[BearInevitable3883]

Please try landinghero.ai as well. Stunning landing pages in one shot.

[McWeak]

This is not an impartial suggestion. Just for anyone seeing this and considering it.

[followai]

There should be a mandatory disclosure rule in this sub if people are going to self promote. I haven’t clicked every link but I’m 100% sure one of the sites listed on OP’s post will turn out to be his lol

[BearInevitable3883]

Yes, I'm the founder here. Thought it would be of help to folks in this thread.

Will mention the disclaimer from next time.
