I have built over 20+ Client Projects,
drafted PRDs, and worked extensively with @cursor_ai using the following Builders
- @v0
- @lovable_dev
- @boltdotnew
- @builderio
After all these grinding hours and debuggings and fixes , HERE is my exact analysis of what to use
The Builder mega-thread:
1. @v0 by Vercel + @cursor_ai for MVPs :
Speed and Simplicity :
@v0 is perfect for quick UI mockups, and when paired with @cursor_ai , you get smart code suggestions and auto-completions that speed up your development.
It's like having an AI sketch artist for your code.
@v0 @cursor_ai 2. Constraints:
While great for UI, when you need complex backend integration, the duo might not offer the full palette you need.
@cursor_ai can help navigate through issues, but scaling might still be a challenge.
3. @boltdotnew + @cursor_ai for MVPs :
Full-Stack Sprint:
@boltdotnew lets you go from nothing to a working MVP in no time, and with @cursor_ai
You get an AI-powered assist for both frontend and backend, making the process even smoother.
It's like having an extra pair of hands in your browser-based IDE.
@v0 @cursor_ai @boltdotnew 4. Hiccups:
The combination can sometimes face stability issues or unexpected bugs, but @cursor_ai's debugging capabilities help mitigate this, though it's not a silver bullet for all complex scenarios.
5. @lovable_dev + @cursor_ai for MVPs :
Collaborative Charm:
@lovable_dev is already team-friendly, and when you add@cursor_ai, you not only get style but also smart code management.
It's like having a design and code mentor in your team, enhancing productivity.
Style vs. Substance:
The partnership shines in creating visually appealing and functional MVPs, but if you're looking for tech stack diversity or specific deployment options, you might feel a bit constrained.
Here, @cursor_ai can help in customizing where possible.
@builderio for Design :
Visual Development:
@builderio stands out with its visual CMS, allowing for drag-and-drop with custom components.
When combined with @cursor_ai, provides a powerful environment for building complex UIs without deep coding knowledge.
It's like having a visual blueprint for your app.
Flexibility & Learning Curve:
Builder.io offers flexibility with integration into existing sites, but there's a learning curve, especially for those not used to visual CMS systems.
@cursor_ai can assist in understanding and optimizing the code generated by Builder.io once imported just like figma code import flow
7. From My Experience:
- @v0+ @cursor_ai has been my toolkit for when I need to rapidly prototype React-based interfaces, with @cursor_ai making the code cleaner and more maintainable.
- @boltdotnew+@cursor_ai is my go-to for full-stack MVPs under tight deadlines, where @cursor_ai's insights are invaluable for quick fixes and optimizations.
- @lovable_dev + @cursor_ai works wonders for team projects where aesthetics meet functionality, with@cursor_ai ensuring our code doesn't just look good but is good.
- @builderio + @cursor_ai has been transformative for projects where stakeholders need to see and manipulate the UI directly. @cursor_ai helps in translating visual decisions into efficient code.
These are some of my thoughts based on my use case. I lately have been enjoying @lovable_dev much more than others but migrating to next.js becomes an extra step to take care of.
I am also learning things and wanna keep exploring newer upcoming stuff while ensuring I have a good knowledge of Coding

The secret? We started by befriending AI. @ChatGPTapp became our creative partner, helping us dream up the perfect components. After feeding it our product vision and tweaking the prompts
(pro tip: treat it like a senior UI designer), we got exactly what we needed. Zero dollars spent, pure magic. ✨

@ChatGPTapp Once we had our base, we jumped into a 15-minute power session.
@NotionHQ became our playground for mapping out ideas. Quick, efficient, and totally aligned on our vision. Sometimes the simplest tools work best. 📝

Recently, I had an exciting opportunity as a Freelancer. A client approached me for a Frontend project that could potentially be worth $1000! 💰.
Exciting, right? ✨

The task was to create a simple Figma design, and I was eager to showcase my skills. I utilized Tailwind CSS for styling to ensure pixel-perfect results🎨✨

I combined Tailwind with shadcn v0 and Next.js.
This powerful trio enabled me to create a visually stunning and highly functional interface. Next.js made it easy to manage routing and SSR, enhancing the overall performance of the project. 🚀
