Hey all —
I make a photo gallery website called mood.site. I made it initially as a test to see how far along I could build something with ChatGPT circa early 2024. A year since release the site has garnered a fair number of users, so I used it as a moment to re-evalutate the SOTA for AI-assisted coding with Cline and Claude Code.
I used both extensively to first migrate the application to Svelte, then used Claude Code exclusively to "vibecode" (before I knew what vibecoding was!) the premium feature set I've since released. The site works and people are now paying for it, so I took some time to write nearly 8000 words about the whole process!
Hope you enjoy and happy to answer any questions!
What is your overall impression of Cline? Why does it stick out as being on the SOTA track compared to the others trying to replace VS Code entirely?
