Will have to try this later, the YT video looks promising. Found tools similar to this promising to create early mockups or other pre-prototypes when developing products.

#12I tried this but kept getting errors.
I asked it to build a TODO list that searches the internet to "augment" my todo list with advice

#13Why did you use convex as backend?
Great question! We chose Convex for multiple reasons:
– We spin up isolated projects for each user. Convex handles this seamlessly with zero manual setup, while Supabase/Firebase have limitations and manual configuration needed – We abstract backend logic as visual nodes, so Convex's modularity makes it logical to find the right granularity for workflow representation. – Everything is reactive, so UIs and workflows stay in sync without bolting on listeners – Everything is end-to-end TypeScript with transactions by default, so generated code is predictable and maintainable

Thanks! Would love to hear what prototype ideas you have in mind

#16I think the evolution of vibe coding tool is definitely the editor. Having a black box with no way to maintain it is an absolute liability. That's why I think app generators must be a good editor before being able to generate anything. It seems you went this way with the cool node interface. I'm doing the same thing with https://luna-park.app , but for fullstack apps.
I'm seeing a huge union jack overlaying the page when I open it in Safari

That's pretty funny but not what I envision for my landing page, I'll have to take a look... (thanks for the heads up)

#18In general to me it makes a lot of sense to lean much more into "templates" (I'm sure lovable etc already do it, because it's also a nice way to save money). And it's much easier to at least guarantee some basic security when it comes to auth, payments, db setup etc. Of course you can shoot yourself in the foot right after that.

#19Quite like the positioning of "this is the backend to your lovable ui", probably how chef (the vibe coding tool from the makers of convex) should have positioned it. (and kind of do).
