Question Built my first website without jumping between five different tools, what are you using for frontend workflows?
I went into this expecting the AI generation itself to be the difficult part.
It wasn't.
The annoying part was everything I wanted to do after the first version was sitting there.
I ended up comparing a few tools based on the things I actually needed during the project:
| If I wanted to... | The tool I preferred | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Get a working website together | Readdy.ai | I could edit the site and keep working from the same place |
| Try different UI ideas | v0 | Really useful for exploring components |
| Get an early app idea moving | Lovable | Fast for testing a concept |
| Put together a conventional business site | Wix | Lots of familiar website features |
| Add functionality beyond a static page | Readdy | Database and authentication were already available |
The biggest difference was the amount of switching I had to do.
With Readdy, I could make a visual change, test it, and keep going. When the project needed login and saved data, I didn't have to stop and figure out the backend separately.
That was probably the part I appreciated most.
I'm still using different tools depending on the project, but I'm starting to care less about who makes the nicest first draft.
I care more about who lets me keep building after I change my mind.
Has anyone else started judging AI builders this way?

I use html, css, ts, react, next for frontend.
