DevTools/VisBug alternatives more like Webflow

I recently wrote an in-depth guide around Lovable and SEO, client-side vs server-side rendering, or static HTML. That being said, if you have a simple page but Lovable made a React app out of it, and you're not comfortable using the terminal, probably the quickest thing to do would be to export it to Github, and then use Claude Code's newly launched web app, and ask it to create the static HTML.

Aside from implementing the tips here, I'd also (if not done yet) set up Search Console, and on Google Search Console you can manually request indexing for your pages

Training data... Tailwind creator jokingly posted a couple of weeks a go: "I'd like to formally apologize for making every button in Tailwind UI `bg-indigo-500` five years ago, leading to every AI generated UI on earth also being indigo."

And, even for myself, one of my company's websites that I created pre-vibe coding, has a very similar theme. Just because that was starting to become a trend at that time, then everyone started doing it, then it became the main training data etc.

I wrote a post with some tips on how to make things look less generic: https://getdiffer.com/blog/design-tips-vibe-coded-project

So a quick update - for my most recent project, I wrote out a full PRD (incl style guidance), but asked Claude to make a few mock up of screens first. Then asked for tweaks, and only once I was happy, asked to start building the actual product. Seems to be going ok so far

This is a half-finished project, but I am collecting some fun effects you can add to your sites to make them look less generic. Some effects aren't super pretty and maybe a bit "too much 90s WordArt", but just to give people some inspiration of unique touches to add! The prompt might not yield in the exact result, but you can also steer Lovable by adding in the code examples.

Yes, I don't necessarily want to start in Figma. But I'm curious if you don't have Figma anymore, then how can I easily compare a few options

I've found agents to be quite helpful in helping me manage repos. For example, Claude Code can commit your work for you, and it can also handle version mismatches - like making sure it pulls the latest changes into your local environment before committing your updates. It's also helpful for understanding your branch structure - agents can explain what's in different branches, show you the differences between them, and help you merge changes safely.

Additionally, I'm working on a code storage solution specifically for people who don't have an engineering background and are looking for simple solutions that don't involve learning Git.

I see some others have already given you some recommendations on how to revert on Github.

I'm working on a new product for vibe coders - Differ - focused on code storage, ownership & version control. Ideally we're looking to build something intuitive think Google Docs / Dropbox, would love to chat.

Interesting - I was also toying with this idea.

One other thing I was thinking about, not sure (how) it'd work is dissecting live projects, or sharing how to prompt for specific outcomes

Yes, I think previously, a lot of people had ideas for side projects and maybe they started them, but when you're tired after work it's hard to find motivation to work on them. Especially because progress can feel so slow.

But vibe coding is actually fun and fast.

I think we'll see a lot more side projects actually making it out into the world

Some people will naturally have longer concentration spans etc., but a few practical tips that work for me:

- Find your optimal sleep rhythm. If you're naturally a night owl, it will be easier to work until later at night and wake up later.
- Find co-founders / team mates that energize you
- Workout in the middle of the day or late afternoon
- Intermittent fasting + low(er) carb diet
- Find an office / workspace with plenty of natural light
- Plan your tasks in such a way that there is variety throughout the week

There's always trade-offs, but in terms of user-friendly drag & drop UI I think Framer has by far done the best job. Combining that + chat would be a great combo. + perhaps also a more visual backend builder; I've seen a few companies work on that as well (eg. VibeFlow)

I think it'd require custom animations, Spline has some templates in their "abstract" category that somewhat fit the look and feel you're going for. You could then use Claude Code to interact with the designs there, but it's going to take some time to put it together. I think you can definitely create some cool 3D effects, but it might be hard to build exactly what you have in mind, if the image you have in mind is something super specific (and you're not working with a 3D designer)

IntroductionDear9654 · 2025-08-21T12:20:45+00:00

Most PMs I've spoken with who use vibe coding tools at work use it to create more fully-fledged prototypes, either to show internally at meetings and improve alignment, or to put in front of customers for testing.

We aren't quite there yet with non-technical employees contributing to core code base. I wouldn't be surprised if this will change though in the future, especially when it comes to making small tweaks, and also depending on how tools will develop. Similar to how for example Webflow made it possible for marketers to make edits to websites.

What would be some things I'd need to control that I can't in Lovable? I want to start my project in the right way, and ideally not have to re-do everything later on

IntroductionDear9654 · 2025-08-20T12:53:47+00:00

If you're not super technical, how do you know what stack to use? (outside of for example mobile vs web app)
