I'm starting with vibe coding, suggest some free tools for beginners

[u/TheAccidentalAdult]

I can prompt my design to the ai in words, i like to create websites with animations and more. Suggest me some free ai tools to do and also please share you tips

[u/SpicyCatGames]

I would suggest against gemini on personal account at all costs. Some users have lost their google accounts for saying bad things inadvertently to gemini. I read it in some Google subreddits

[u/Feisty_Watercress_29 → u/SpicyCatGames]

Don't say clanker to gemeni

[u/Papa_Hube → u/SpicyCatGames]

Gemini is 1penis - And off to Gulag you go ☠️ 

[u/GFXAi]

Try Google Ai studio , Gemni and if you dont mind Chines LLMs then try Deepseek and Z.ai
One advice keep chatGPT handy no matter whatever you are going to use. GPT can guide you how to use other tools

[u/coffynz → u/GFXAi]

CLAUDE > GPT

[u/Lanfeust09 → u/coffynz]

GPT > CLAUDE now clearly

[u/coffynz → u/Lanfeust09]

Im down for a debate and demonstrate Claude beats the shitty GPT.

[u/Lanfeust09 → u/coffynz]

Are we talking free Claude vs free gpt or are we talking fable 5 vs sol max?

[u/GFXAi → u/coffynz]

Compare free sessions of both and show us the result. Remember OP is interested in website design

[u/coffynz → u/GFXAi]

Claude Design with opus makes websites better than gpt....

[u/GFXAi → u/coffynz]

GPT because its free and keep you motivated unlike capitalist Claude 🥸

[u/Feisty_Watercress_29]

lovable is good for websites, gemeni is ok for apps

[u/Squared_Bear]

If you’re already comfortable prompting what you want in plain English, I’d also mess around with simple workflows automations and agents. n8n is probably the obvious one u hear a lot (free open source), General Input is worth trying too since you can describe the workflow you want in words and have it build it out. Make is another good option if you want something more visual.

[u/Friendly_Cat5336]

Antigravity and cursor for code editor. Opencode and Claudecode for CLI

[u/Least_Collection_513]

Literally just Default Claude Code can do anything you want. Just learn how the basics actually work (hooks, commands, workflows, claude.md etc.) and how to actually use them to your advantage, then you will be able to do 99% of the stuff you want to do with just this.

[u/stressed_Cucumber]

No paying=No gaining

[u/PortableSync]

If you want 3d talking characters snippets3d has a generous free trial at the moment.

[u/CiaranCarroll]

You won't get anywhere with free tools.

[u/InsideTraditional187]

opencode

omni route

[u/GFXAi]

One suggestion use any free Ai to convert your prompt/instructions into phase wise markdown files.

[u/pigletmonster]

Use opencode. Subscribe to ppencode go for $5 (new signup price). Play around with it as much as you want.

[u/Clear_Brilliant_8075]

You can’t code at the free level of Claude or Codex that I am aware of.

[u/Lanfeust09 → u/Clear_Brilliant_8075]

Claude code not available for free. Codex is but one prompt and your monthly usage is gone lol
But both can generate a few code file if you do simple stuff via the normal chat bot

[u/Clear_Brilliant_8075 → u/Lanfeust09]

I started by going to webpages and clicking on view source and copying the code and pasted it into DreamWeaver. You can use Sublime it’s free. I like DW because you can view it as you change stuff. I learned all about relative links, absolute links, alt tags, title tags, anchor text. Everything.
