Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 10.401 Greg Isenberg

I brought on one of the best vibe coders on the planet to teach you how to squeeze the most out of Claude, Cursor, and all these vibe coding tools.

Chapter 2: What tools and models does Chris Raroque use for coding?

10.862 - 27.618 Greg Isenberg

We're talking about which models to pick, how to use MCPs properly, the exact servers to run them on, and a hack that gets you 20% more output from Cursor. There's even a single keyword that you can type that literally makes Claude code work harder.

Chapter 3: How does vibe coding work in the mobile app landscape?

28.118 - 47.689 Greg Isenberg

I'd never heard of it. if you want to get the most out of vibe coding platforms this is the closest thing to multiplying yourself the full breakdown is inside this video and there's just it's it's a lot of tangible tips and tricks how to get the most out of vibe coding

Chapter 4: What does the live demo of Claude Code's iOS animation look like?

56.242 - 57.783 Greg Isenberg

Chris, welcome back to the pod.

Chapter 5: How does Cursor compare in completing the same task?

57.823 - 61.247 Greg Isenberg

By the end of this episode, what are people going to learn?

61.307 - 64.349 Chris Raroque

First, thanks so much for having me, Greg.

Chapter 6: What tips does Chris offer for effective vibe coding?

64.369 - 72.497 Chris Raroque

What I hope people learn is just what my AI coding workflow is. Because I know a lot of people are getting into AI and there's a thousand tools out there.

Chapter 7: How can solo developers leverage AI for better app development?

72.517 - 77.261 Chris Raroque

There's a thousand different ways to do this. And I want to show them what I'm using to build my apps.

Chapter 8: What are the advantages of using MCP servers in coding?

77.681 - 83.987 Chris Raroque

And then I want to also show some tips and tricks that I have that will probably help level up anyone who is doing AI coding.

83.967 - 103.495 Greg Isenberg

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're doing thousands of dollars at MRR with your apps. You've got a portfolio of successful apps, some beautiful looking things. So you're going to basically show us tips and tricks and your workflow so that people can copy it and do a similar thing? Yeah, exactly. That's what we're going to do.

104.099 - 122.878 Chris Raroque

I'll just give a little bit of context for anyone who doesn't know me. My name is Chris, I build productivity apps and then I document everything on YouTube. I teach people how to build apps and just show what it actually looks like behind the scenes of doing it myself. I have a bunch of different apps that I've built.

123.459 - 141.184 Chris Raroque

And the reason I'm showing them, it's not to plug them, it's really to show that these are very substantial apps. Some of them, or most of them, people are always surprised when they hear that it's just me building them. And to be honest, this would not be physically possible for a single person to do if it wasn't for AI.

141.464 - 164.204 Chris Raroque

So that is my secret to being able to build all of these things and just sustain all this stuff myself. And just to leverage AI coding tools like Cloud Coding Cursor, like we're going to talk about, to be able to do this. So this is a little bit of context here. Let's just jump into it. So... There are two tools that I'm currently using.

164.365 - 175.423 Chris Raroque

And again, I don't want this to be an episode to just kind of show how to use Cursor or how to use Cloud Code or anything because there are so many better videos out there. And there's a bunch on my YouTube channel as well if you want to check them out.

175.924 - 194.153 Chris Raroque

But I did just want to show what I'm doing and then some rapid fire quick tips so that you guys can maybe apply this stuff to your own coding workflow. But there are two tools that I'm currently using, and it's Cloud Code and Cursor. And what's surprising to most people is I am actually using both at the same time.

194.613 - 215.165 Chris Raroque

And so usually people are like, I just have to choose one, and then I got to stick with it. But what I've found is they have different strengths and weaknesses, and that's why I choose to use both. And I'll actually show you, this is kind of the setup. So this is what it looks like for me. So I have Cursor open. So this is Cursor. And typically what I do is I have a terminal on the right.

215.265 - 235.002 Chris Raroque

So typically the terminal I think is on the bottom and you can just drag it to the right. And then I just run Claude inside on the right here. So now Claude is running. And then if I want to use Cursor and their AI agents, I just have to change tabs. And then now here I'm using Cursor. So I'm frequently switching between both Claude Code and Cursor all the time.
