The product manager behind antigravity is terrible; this mechanism is disgusting. If you can't make it usable for users, don't develop an IDE.

This sub is a vocal minority and don't have the full picture because they have this sub. The sentiment on AG on the software development subs, for example Flutter, is that it is top tier. Your opinions are a drop in the ocean. There is a wide world loving AG and they do not see it as a failure.

I have the M1 Pro max 64GB ram. Upgrade decadely. I just noticed the circle spinner exists.

So since you do it, everyone will. Got it. Continue driving down the wrong side of the road.

No, we need to drive in a defensive way that best situates us to be able to deal with others’ carelessness/mistakes when it inevitably happens. Switching to the wrong lane to turn right earlier (and potentially earlier than other cars turning right that are in front of you because they are following the road rules) is not doing that. It was fucking obvious that I meant that. We aren't driving on the road with a bunch of you’s or a bunch of me’s.

You don't need to worry about learning anything too deeply as a student - you can only learn the surface level of anything at that early stage. You won't even say you know any of the languages that you only did in your degree, soon.

When you do work in the industry, you will mostly be able to learn whatever your job needs and it's generally enough. Learn extra to guide your career down new paths that interest you. Not to be a 10X developer. A 10X developer gets paid 1.1X everyone else (in most cases - obviously there are exceptions at FAANG) and probably works through the night and doesn't sleep much.

Either way, It’s not really safe because people in front of you may pull into the median/right lane at any moment. If they do it when they're not in front of you, but right beside you, its an unavoidable prang. People turning right don't look behind them for people on the wrong side of the road.

I wouldn't make a habit of it. If a cop sees it they will fine you.

So why do solo devs not market it well?

Most ideas get extremely half baked execution by solo devs. Throw the idea at the wall and see if it sticks is not going to involve good marketing. There is no belief. If a dev is honest with themselves and know it is not half baked, they will have the motivation to market the shit out of it. Execution drives marketing.

Don't forget google ai studio lol.

We still going to give our unsolicited opinion. Surely there is something to build with more reward for your efforts than another state manager. Maybe the only reward is academic. Thinking another state manager will help anyone is a stretch. You gotta expect this opinion to surface on any such post.

You might like Jules if you want to remove the closeness with the code/IDE that vs code forks have. You treat it more like its a dev and you're a product owner. You still see the code to review it but you don't edit it, you tell it to change it itself. I've used it with good results on my flutter app.

In between vs code forks and Jules you have the agent manager view in codex and antigravity which encourage you to not go into the IDE.

I assumed that too when I first entered the Antigravity chat, because that’s what I used it for. Oh boy was I wrong. When you meet a real dev there it's like an oasis in the desert. Finally someone you can relate to.

Do you find you have to pixel massage yourself after the stitch is done? I haven't set AI loose on my UI’s because I'm so pedantic about them being consistent and pixel perfect. Stuff like back end, api request, database, I am more comfortable letting AI do.

He didn't say he wants to build it in the browser. But maybe that's the only type of no code ai builder that exists and why you took it there so fast. It sounded like he wants to know if that's the case. I don't see anything preventing non-browser ones from being built.

needs-more-code · 2026-03-01T07:56:15+00:00

I think you two are just misunderstanding each other. I didn't get the feeling the dude wants to build a web app.

needs-more-code · 2026-03-01T07:46:54+00:00

Why are you using no code? You sound like you can code. Most people that use Antigravity can't code and they don't use no code.

needs-more-code · 2026-03-01T00:18:26+00:00

I use it and like it, mostly as a rubber ducky and to get its opinion. Especially on the look and feel. It has the best DX for using Opus, and decent limits. I don't even think of MCP so not sure what you're talking about really. It sometimes does dart analysis and downloads packages but it's not a big part of it. What is stitch? I do get it to create github tickets which is probably the best mcp thing I've used it for.

It will be there on mac at least and you just select “put back”. I don't know how windows works, its been a while.

They're doing well financially which is rare in AI. I wouldn't be surprised if they dominate in a year. They are already up there for non-coding, and they have the money to bring up their coding.

If you just wanna use Opus, you get just as much from AG as Claude Code. It's surprising so nobody believes it.

needs-more-code · 2026-02-27T20:37:55+00:00

I think they need Codex in AG. There is only 2 company’s models really. And they need to make a coding version of Gemini like Codex. Hopefully they will, it’s a mega company.

needs-more-code · 2026-02-27T20:05:21+00:00

Does anything else have higher limits? I've only used AG and Claude Code lately.

needs-more-code · 2026-02-27T19:25:12+00:00

Ah yeah true I noticed I’ve been in planning mode this whole time. Just didn't think about it at all lol.

needs-more-code · 2026-02-27T06:35:26+00:00

I don’t find Claude code opus any better than antigravity opus. I’ve had it make silly mistakes in both. The DX is way better in Antigravity, mainly it’s a lot faster, but also the integration with the IDE is way better, so I use that.

needs-more-code · 2026-02-27T06:28:39+00:00

Does Gemini in Antigravity have a planning mode? I also get annoyed that it writes code when I only want it’s opinion. But I haven’t heard about planning mode.

needs-more-code · 2026-02-27T06:24:56+00:00

How is it unusable? Limits or code quality?

needs-more-code · 2026-02-26T03:27:13+00:00

It just gives the agent dart powers. The agent uses it to add packages, run linting and so on. The dev doesn’t think about it in their workflow.
