Another browser vibe-coding platform — 'pretty cool' in the bake-off, and a common on-ramp people graduate out of.

Pick this when

As one more parallel attempt at an MVP; nothing in the course argues it's the best pick.

What makes it different

Performed respectably in the five-way BC4 comparison

A learner in the cohort used it before moving to Claude Code, Cursor and Codex — a documented graduation path

What it does

Generates working apps from prompts in the browser

What it does not do

Common wrong expectations

Doesn't hold people long — the pattern is to outgrow it for local coding agents

Where it sits in a stack

The on-ramp seat: fine for proving an idea, expected to be left behind.
