A lightning-fast development session using Rails 8 and Google's Antigravity agent to build Mecenate, a CFP management tool.

I’m at work when my friend Elia from the Rubycon team tells me: “Riccardo, Netlify can’t update our site anymore!” Luckily, the site is not down, it’s just stuck! In this article, we’ll see how Antigravity and Gemini CLI can help:

Get started with gemini-cli: let’s vibecode an app On June 23rd, the DeepMind team has dropped a bomb 💣: gemini-cli ! I’m so excited to show you how it works so.. Why don’t we code an application from scratch? I had this idea this morning of making a more complex and good looking version of palladius/my-sessions-and-bio so..

Vibe coding my first Chrome Extension with gemini-cli ! A few months ago, a colleague told me about an internal tool that my colleagues were building: a CLI version of an LLM code assist which is code and file-system aware, and can help you create/fix code, and maybe also create a feature branch for you and push to production. Think of a “bash version” of Cursor/Windsurf" (or a free version of Claude Code / Codex CLI), and built with my favourite model, ♊ **Gemini**!
