The BEST AI Coder for Your Next Big Idea


Hey Reader,

Yesterday, I realized I've been giving some of you the wrong advice.

I've been pushing tools like Cursor and Windsurf as the "best option" for building your app.

But here's my mistake: you might not actually need them.

No-Code tools like Lovable could be the better choice.

But what should you choose?

When NO-CODE Beats AI Coding Tools

If you're building any of these 3 things...

1️⃣ A landing page or mini website (like a link-in-bio or newsletter page)

2️⃣ A simple app with basic login/registration and database storage

3️⃣ Something that just integrates standard services (like Stripe payments)

You're probably BETTER OFF using no-code tools like Lovable over AI editors.

Because they give you much more visual control without having to prompt an AI to make every change.

When You Actually Need AI Coding Tools

But there's a flip side.

AI coding editors are still the right choice if:

➡️ You need complex background processes (like my socialhacks.app)

➡️ You're building anything that's not a web app (e.g., a mobile app)

➡️ You're integrating multiple third-party services that need to talk to each other

Most people won't tell you this because they're busy selling you their "one solution for everything."

I just want you to choose the right tool for YOUR next big idea.

Hey Reader, I just spent months testing every AI tool that matters. Thousands of dollars later, I found an AI stack that builds apps faster than anything I’ve ever used. Here’s what I currently use, and what you should be using too. My EXACT AI Tools Setup 1️⃣ AI Editors Cursor Ultra ($200/month) The best AI editor out there right now. I get a full suite of features and can see files being edited in real time. Claude Code Max 5x ($100/month) This is both a blessing and a curse. Best AI...

Hey Reader, The AI coding world is on fire right now. Cursor, the tool everyone used to love, is suddenly in the midst of a sh*tstorm. And honestly, most of the outrage isn't entirely unfounded... Here's what actually happened (and what you need to know). The $20 Dream Is Dead For months, Cursor offered unlimited AI coding for $20/month. 500 fast requests. Unlimited slow requests. Pure joy. But here's the thing everyone knew but nobody wanted to admit: $20/month for unlimited AI was never...

Hey Reader, Last week, something happened that should've broken the internet. While everyone was busy arguing about GPT 5 and Grok 3.5... ... both OpenAI and Anthropic quietly shipped the most important update of 2025. But nobody noticed. This is not clickbait, I promise. And it's going to make a lot of AI coders very, very rich. Let me explain. The Problem Nobody Talked About When MCP servers launched, everyone lost their minds. "This changes everything!" they said. Influencers wouldn't shut...
