AI coding agents & harnesses
Choose the workflow surface before you obsess over benchmarks: terminals for headless rigs, IDE extensions when you stay in-editor, clouds when you delegate to managed sandboxes, and prompt-to-app builders when shipping product UI is the bottleneck.
60 tools, grouped by where you primarily run them — each card notes whether the tool is self-hosted or vendor cloud.
Prompt-to-app builders
Idea → shipped app flows in a vendor-managed workspace (not repo-first coding).
