2026

  1. Build a Website from a Single Prompt: Bolt, Lovable, Framer, and Buddy Compared

    Four AI tools that promise to turn a sentence into a live website. Most hand you back at the deployment step. Only one registers the domain, publishes to a CDN, and sets up analytics without leaving the session.

  2. Cursor Bought a Git Forge. Buddy Already Ships the Whole Stack.

    Cursor's Origin is an agent-native Git forge — fast storage, automatic conflict resolution, no CI, no deploys, Fall 2026. Buddy runs Claude in pipelines with per-branch sandboxes today.

  3. I Vibe-Coded a Website in 10 Minutes with Claude and Buddy CLI
