About
Hi, I'm Paul.
I build AI-native sites and ship products with the tools I write about.
Vibetoolstack is what I publish when I'm not building. Real reviews from real builds. Across the stack I run for several AI-driven online projects, from small marketing sites to content-scaled media winning their niches.
Why VTS
AI-native builders don't have a serious tool publisher. The aggregators are bland. The niche blogs sell courses. The tools self-publish and lie. VTS is the gap.
For years I've been shipping AI-stack-driven online projects. Small marketing sites, content-scaled media properties dominating their niches, AI-native MVPs, and productized internal tooling. The same stack you'll read about here is the one I actually run in production.
Along the way I tested every AI builder tool, every newsletter platform, every site builder, every cold-email stack. Because I needed to ship without a co-founder, without a team, and without burning months on tooling decisions.
Vibetoolstack is the publication I wish existed when I was starting out. Honest. Dated. Maintained. Opinionated. Free of course-funnels and affiliate-bait.
If a stack works, it gets a framework page. If a tool ships better than its rivals, it gets the win. If something stops working, it gets retired. Not buried under SEO graveyard listicles.
Track record
Several AI-stack-driven online projects.
From small marketing sites to content-scaled media winning their niches. Every review on VTS comes from tools I've actually shipped with. Across the categories below.
Niche-winning publications running programmatic SEO at scale. Hundreds of reviews, thousands of articles, deployed on Astro + Sanity + Cloudflare.
From idea to live in weeks. Marketplace prototypes, founder-tools, build-in-public side projects. The same stack VTS writes about.
Internal tooling turned client product: agentic SEO workflows, content engines, and stack templates that paid customers actually use.
How VTS works
Four editorial principles.
No exceptions.
Tested before reviewed.
Every tool I cover I've actually used to ship something. Reviews are dated, dated again when re-tested, and retired when they're no longer accurate.
Honest about commission.
I disclose affiliate relationships on every page that has them. Recommendations don't change based on commission rate. And I tell you which tools have no affiliate at all.
No AI-slop.
No generic listicles. No regurgitated specs. No "here are 27 newsletter platforms" filler. Every page commits to a verdict and shows how I got there.
Stacks over lists.
Tool rankings in isolation are useless. The real question is what works together. Stacks are bets. And they get updated when better setups ship.
Find the stack that fits.
