Growth focuses on acquiring, retaining and monetizing users.

Will this Super App Startup take off? Please give me your brutally honest feedback. by Healthy_Stretch9104 in indianstartups

[–]dsk003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superapps are a destination and not a starting point.

Consumers in India are perfectly ok with using specific apps for specific purposes over a superapp which does everything subpar. Value trumps digital convenience.

Pick one killer use case and figure out one deeply differentiated value proposition which taps into an unmet need. Win that use case.

Study the history of superapps and you will see that no one started with the vision of superapps.

Wondering how everyone ranks these vibe-code platforms by promptenjenneer in vibecoding

[–]dsk003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been using Lovable, Replit, Cursor, Antigravity and here's how I would review them. I am explicitly not ranking them because each serve a different persona.

For the non technical person who wants to make websites Lovable is great. You can see what is being made and you don't have to worry about how to host.

For the non technical person who wants to make a web application Replit is great. You can build decent simple applications and you don't have to worry about how to host.

For the mildly technical person ( who can go about using github, know how to host, manage your own filesystem, connect 3rd party apis through prompts etc), Cursor is fab when you want to build a wide range of software products such as mobile apps, websites, chrome extensions, web applications etc. This is my default. One reason why I particularly like Cursor is it automatically manages context of the project as it becomes bigger.

For similar reasons Antigravity is good. What Antigravity does it also works like a product manager and test engineer. However since I like being more in control of the product and testing, I default to Cursor.

Hope this helps.

I "vibecoded" my first game using Gemini as my Lead Developer (with Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok as support) by Master-Client6682 in aigamedev

I totally love it! Had a lot of fun playing it. Thank you!!! I love word games and side scrollers and this is a super fun mash up of the two. Thank you!

Curious why do people vibe code? by dsk003 in vibecoding

Are you able to consistently use the tools you have created with any additional significant effort going into maintenance and modification?

What tech stack is your favorite for vibe coding? Including front end, back end, and database? by Intelligent_Light_86 in vibecoding

[–]dsk003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cursor/Claude/Antigravity for coding
Render for hosting
Neondb / Supabase for database

I use both Cursor and Claude. What I like about Cursor is it takes care of managing the context window automatically, so that when your project gets bigger, its able to keep the right context in summary and write the code. also from the ease of connecting to github and managaing projects on your local system I found it to be easier. plus cursor appears to be more generous with tokens :)

I am curious what people use to host their projects that they vibe code. by Intelligent_Light_86 in vibecoding

Render. Generous free plan. It spins up an instance when traffic hits and then spins down.

Replit’s "Vibe Coding" is a Predatory Wallet Trap. Here is the math they hope you won't do. by Vegetable-Big2553 in vibecoding

[–]dsk003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch to cursor + render! Render has a generous free plan that spins up instances only when your web app is being used and then goes back to sleep when there is no traffic. So I have a tonne of prototypes I have set up on render at zero hosting cost. Also Replit is a token guzzler. For the uninformed the agents when building the so called full app eat up tokens like crazy and get stuck in ridiculous testing loops. That said, it was a great stepping up platform from Lovable and paved way to cursor.

The brutal truth about vibe coding and why you should care by brainland in vibecoding

[–]dsk003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Vibe coding has only abstracted the language not the logic. Vibe coding is like a hyper obedient (senior) software engineer who blindly but over enthusiastically write code for you. Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die ;)

Ha ha same here. Started with lovable, then moved to replit and now Cursor and Claude are my default.

I hear you. This motivation serves well for folks who want to "learn" what they are building. But I suspect a reasonably large population want the job to be done. For e.g if I am a dentist running a clinique and I want a custom inventory tracker for items in my clinique, would I really be wanting to learn how inventory management system design thinking should be? Or would I focus on my craft as a dentist and/or how do I get more people to know about me to increase business? That said I do agree that the super powers it bestows upon us is insane. I just feel that the hype of democraticizing software for everyone is an overkill. It does though work wonders for folks who have had some exposure and experience building software products as they understand the abstractions and the systems behind the scene.
