Vibe coding lands in app dev

Vibe coding’s shaking up app development: natural language prompts, like a casual chat between two regular folks, get fed to an AI, churning out executable code (Flutter, React, you name it), compiled and previewed live. This isn’t your drag-and-drop no-code gig; it’s a fresh stack tapping LLMs to slash dev cycles.

Tools like Lovable, Bolt, and soon Scabld are driving this. With Scabld, we’re leaning on Flutter and Claude 3.7 Sonnet to target mobile, web, and desktop apps from a single prompt.

So, vibe coding, paradigm shift or fleeting trend? What do you think?

To me, no-code like Bubble’s isn’t dead, it’s still got legs depending on who you are and what you need. But vibe coding? It’s wild. It’s for hackers who’d rather iterate than architect, or devs prototyping without slogging through boilerplate. Skeptics call it a fancy gadget, but I see a force multiplier.
