This is one of the most incredible tech stacks to completely transform your software development.
Your personal team of geniuses to build your products faster than over.
Design, coding, terminal work, testing, deployment... every part of your workflow moves faster than ever.
Idea in -- Product out.
1. UI Design: Figma Make
This is where the speed really starts.
Instead of staring at a blank frame and dragging rectangles for 45 minutes, you just describe what you want.
Dashboard, landing page, onboarding flow—boom, it’s there. And the best part: It’s still normal Figma. You can tweak spacing, colors, components, whatever.
No locked-in AI mockups. Just fast first drafts that you refine and move on from.
2. IDE + Agent: Windsurf (multi-agent mode)
Windsurf makes you feel like you actually have teammates.
The built-in agent (Cascade) understands your project, makes multi-file changes, and doesn’t freak out the moment something gets complicated. Then you turn on multi-agent mode and suddenly:
One agent is handling frontend components
Another is building out your backend and Firestore models
A third is wiring up auth, payments, edge cases
You’re not typing every line anymore. You’re reviewing, nudging, and making high-level decisions.
Pro tip: drop an AGENTS.md file into your repo that explains how you like things done. Folder conventions, error handling patterns, naming rules. After that, the agents stop guessing and start working the way you actually build.
3. Terminal Intelligence: Gemini CLI
This is your “do stuff for me” layer.
Gemini CLI lives in your terminal and acts like a real assistant instead of just a chat window. You can ask it to:
Scan your repo and suggest a refactor
Generate tests and run them
Fix broken builds
Migrate files or rewrite APIs
Basically: all the annoying glue work that usually eats your time? Hand it off.
4. Payments: Stripe
Still undefeated.
Stripe just works. Clean APIs, great docs, predictable patterns. Subscriptions, one-time payments, webhooks, retries—it’s all there and battle-tested.
In this stack, your agent handles most of the setup, you review the flow, and suddenly your app can take money without you building a payment system from scratch.
Which, let’s be honest, you never wanted to do anyway.
