Convex Chef vs Bolt vs V0 vs Lovable: Which Vibe Coding Tool Actually Works?
From the video description
In State of Vibe in April 2025, Mike runs a live experiment comparing four of the leading vibe coding tools—Chef (Convex), Lovable, Bolt, and V0—by giving them the same prompt: generate a fully working multiplayer Tic-Tac-Toe app with auth, a backend, an AI player option, and a 10-second turn timeout. This side-by-side evaluation tests each tool’s ability to handle real-time logic, user sessions, server persistence, Supabase integrations, and prompt follow-ups. Despite UI polish and early progress, most platforms fall short on back-end functionality, multiplayer logic, and prompt interpretation—except Convex Chef, which delivered the most complete result out of the box.
