Johnson🙏 122 karmaJul 16, 2025@OnSpace.AI - No Code App BuilderWould rate 4.9 if possible, but rounding up to 5 stars because this app truly excels compared to other AI coding tools. Why 5 Stars: Best-in-class AI coding assistance Huge improvements over competitors Actually works for real development Real Impact: I successfully built and published an actual app using this tool - that's game-changing for non-developers like me. Bottom Line: Yes, there's room for improvement, but this is already the top AI coding app available. The fact that ordinary people can create real apps with it says everything. Perfect for anyone wanting to turn ideas into actual apps! -
Cursor — v2Much stronger coding performance, with big benchmark gains over Composer 1.5 across CursorBench, Terminal-Bench 2.0, and SWE-bench Multilingual. Better long-horizon task solving, aimed at coding jobs that require hundreds of actions instead of shorter edit loops. Stronger base model training from Cursor’s first continued pretraining run, giving reinforcement learning a better foundation than before. Better price-to-intelligence balance, positioned as a much stronger model without giving up cost efficiency. Adds a faster same-intelligence variant and makes fast mode the default option.

>Why is this website so ugly? Our goal is to rapidly make the software better, not to have a shiny website. Love it!

Honestly this is the GOAT, I tried this tool and it was able to either help debug or make scripts from the ground up. It has support for a lot of support languages too, which adds extra points to how good this tool is.

Code varies from run to run. Still it is a helpful app. You can specify coding languages that are not in the dropdown menu.
