Key Points
Community size and tutorial availability matter as much as technical capability when choosing a vibe coding platform
For technical developers, Cursor and Claude Code dominate; for non-technical builders, V0 offers the best balance of power and accessibility
Mobile vibe coding platforms (Rourke, Vibe Code App, Anything) represent a new wave of opportunity, especially for consumer apps monetizing through TikTok discovery
Non-technical builders need a mindset shift: building real software takes time, testing, and iteration—not five prompts
Betting on a platform means betting on the team and founder behind it; follow their vision to choose the right tool
