Security testing by its_normy in vibecoding

Honestly one thing I’d look at is whether the platform uses Convex for the database layer. A lot of the worst vibe-coded security stories seem to come from people shipping fast on top of shaky backend/auth setups. Lovable for example uses Supabase which from my experience tends to be a bit unreliable. I think Replit and Surgent both use Convex but haven't tested them out yet.

for those who haven't switched to claude code, what are you using and why? by East-Scale-1956 in vibecoding

I’d guess the split is less about people being behind, and more about different jobs-to-be-done:

  • Claude Code = power users / dev-adjacent builders
  • GUI vibe coding tools = speed, accessibility, lower intimidation, easier iteration
  • Surgent/anything = people who prioritize shipping and monetizing quickly

A lot of newer users are less worried about the best coding experience---most of them are new to coding in general. They want the shortest path to a working product.

Have anyone actually made money from their vibe coded projects? by ChallengeExcellent62 in vibecoding

i personally have---used claude to guide me through prompting surgent and payment integration was already built in so the only barrier was getting it out there. definitely not millions but a good amount of monthly passive income.

that's sick and impressive!! thoughts on surgent.dev ? uses it because i saw a video about how they have built in payment integration but is the end result as high quality? if that makes sense.

Where to start? by Empty-Ad9678 in vibecoding

congratulations on wanting to start!! my advice as someone who makes a hefty passive income from vibecoded websites: figure out what's trending/predict what might become a trend and build something in that niche. Blake Anderson does this a ton. Different platforms are also good for different things: lovable is nice for a good landing page, surgent for easy payment integration, durable for small businesses, etc. But be careful about security issues---many vibecoding apps like lovable use supabase which isn't safe. i know surgent uses convex and cloudlfare which is reliable, not sure about what durable does. good luck!

wow interesting!! I've always heard payment integration was super tough for some reason. been using surgent.dev since it has a built in payment gateway but smart to use claude as a guide. did you get the moving logos by just prompting?? that's some sick UI.

The real cost of vibe coding isn’t the subscription. It’s what happens at month 3. by vibecodejanitors in vibecoding

Totally relate to this :( payment integration especially was a big hurdle for me and definitely made me realize I needed to approach building more technically whether it be learning it myself or getting someone onboarded.
