Everything you need to build with AI in a single tool.show more

Interesting, how exactly is this different from Lovable/Replit/Vibecodeapp or just using Claude Code/Cowork directly?? I get the part about BYOB but i'm curious to know because I'm burning through lovable and replit credits like no ones business 😅😅

1. Build any app, any stack - every other tool on the market limits you to basically just websites in a specific preset stack (some mobile apps) 2. Using your own subscriptions and API keys are HUGE cost savers :) no one else on the market has either

Whats the catch?

I wanted to build a vibe-coding platform for Chrome extensions, you guys are faster than me. 😄 Gonna try it out, especially when it allows me to use my Claude Max sub. Perfecto! 👌 (Please don't do desktop apps 🙈)

wait I can use my ChatGPT / Claude subscription with this? I'm sold 👊 Congrats @kevinlu625 et al, this looks stunning.

Would love to give a try on my existing idea, let's see how it goes. Will share the update here

Lets go!

@kevinlu625 @orchidsapp I lost all the credit due to the BUG, of it forgetting the tasks in the middle. It had to start it from the 1st to-do list. please help.

congrats team.

I really like @orchidsapp and have found it really useful to have a built-in app preview and deployment infrastructure in place right in the browser.

This is huge. One place to build and deploy any app across stacks, with freedom to use your own models and keys. Exactly what the AI builder ecosystem needs. Congrats on Orchids 1.0 🚀

Orchids 1.0 looks very promising , one tool that lets you build and deploy literally any type of app.

🚀

Would love to try it out .

How can I claim credits

I would love free credits. I'm always interested to know how well it can follow pre-existing design documentation

Bad ass. Look forward for to trying it.

If you make an account you should see some free credits!

Let's go.

Great work, team. I've been a user since your first web launch and also used the Vibe Coding IDE. No matter which coding agent or IDE I use for my projects, I always end up building the frontend at

How do we get the 100k free credits?

I'll have to try it.

gimme my credits

Great work🔥

Yalla

Good work 👏 I would love to try!

Nice to see, but don’t now will any different with other platforms like lovable, Rork,.. Current I build some mobile apps handle by expo, will @Orchid can easy handle this?

@orchid Yes! Orchids can build any app, any stack (including mobile!) while Lovable and Rork can only build either websites or mobile apps. AND you can use your existing ChatGPT, Claude Code, Github Copilot, and Gemini subs in Orchids which you can't do in any other tool.

Let's go

Amazing 🔥

Finally got the AI productivity stack unification we've needed. How does this handle monetization for developers shipping cross-platform AI apps?

Just downloaded it and asked it to create a music app to help me practice three specific songs and it created it in a few minutes.. crazy awesome!

Should it build another Orchids? to replace you

Interested. Would love to try.

Seems like you guys finally upgraded your Clerk plan? Happy that you’ve got so many users now, you always deserved it, at least for the quality frontends Orchids spins up! Excited to try this update for sure.

will it be easier to use for noobs? tried to build an app with vibecodeapp (it did amazing) but got stuck on the last 5%.

If you make an account you should see some free credits!

will check out tomorrow. but could you please answer my question? 🙏

yes Orchids is both incredibly simple yet highly capable and intelligent

i will really check it out tomorrow as I should get some sleep now 😅. is there any possibility to “download” the app I tried to create in vibecodeapp and finish it in Orchids?

yes! you can download it and then simply import it in our desktop app using the import button. OR you could push it to a github repo and then also import it either on the web or desktop app also using the import button.

I think there is a huge market for people like me, who just would really like to create an app, but have zero clue about coding. and have also zero clue what a github repo is and how to use it. and showing them how get an app from an idea to an app in the app-store. like “app-creating for dummies”.
