love this! i’ve used lovable to build a few apps (or 1 built, currently building 2 more) and I find it great but on the free plan the free monthly credits get used up quickly! SIGH… lol
@Caitlin McColl 🇨🇦 and I talk a LOT about Lovable haha and most of the conversation is around complaining about its usage limits haha. I’m hopeful Claude Code will be an alternative but I can also see hitting usage limits there…
How much are you doing in Lovable nowadays, Nicolle? Enough for a subscription? That’s other thing. I just don’t see myself consistently needing to make apps enough to get it. Or I don’t want to be tied to only that one service for it.
Nah, I don't think I'll pay for Lovable again. I like Claude Code and I've been finding that the usage limits are good for me in the way that I should stop being on the computer so much!
Replit DID send me a code to give away a free month sub if anyone wants it (I get a free month if you use it):
Oooh! We have Replit at work but I haven’t tried it yet. Do you know if there is an expiration? I feel like I’m so choosy about when to activate these things so I can make I’ll actually take advantage!
Rebuilding my website with Claude Code has a nice cozy spot on my to do list. I love this step-by-step guide for walking through what the entire process looked like for you! Thank you for sharing.
The pleasure is mine. I really enjoyed the process of working with Claude code, more than other vibe coding tools. I'd love to hear what others' experiences are like!
I responded to your restack, but just have to add here, too, I so completely agree! And I love hearing what other people's experiences are. I'll just take this moment to say, it is truly incredible how we can have this shared experience and come from so many diverse backgrounds.
Totally agree - and hearing everyone's input is super valuable. Which means that there is room for lots of different points of view, which AI doesn't necessarily provide!
Yess!! I love that part so much. I love what AI can help us do to go beyond what we used to be able to do. And I love that we can go beyond what AI can do, especially when we work together. Humans are just too good at making random but pointed, poignant, spot on connections especially when we’re mixed together in a way AI can’t.
Saving this for some deep diving when I have some space.
love this idea and Canva - it's the one subscription I happily pay for
“The tools I’m recommending are the ones that worked for me. In six months, the answer could be different.” Super helpful, dudette. Thank you!

Yeah - eventually you need to subscribe. But it's great to try things out first and get a feel for the tool.

I can’t find one, @Alyssa Fu Ward, PhD !
Thank you! 🙏
I also don't see myself using Lovable enough to warrant a subscription!

I need to build mine 😭 It’s so much easier now and I still can’t make myself do it
I usually do things when the mood strikes, but that isn't very efficient! I had the IDEA for the website months ago.
I do things when the mood strikes or when the panic strikes, lol. I think it's panic o'clock.
I am SO here with you Iverson!
It’s time to start the Website Accountability Club.
Haha it may very well be!
