About
About Lovable
Vibe-coding a product shell
Describe the app in plain language; Lovable iterates UI and full-stack pieces toward something clickable. Founders use it to learn what users actually click before hiring a full build.
Honest handoff
Expect to rework auth, permissions, and data integrity. The tool optimizes for momentum, not for your future SOC2 narrative.
Decision cue
If the question is “should this product exist?”, Lovable/Bolt are appropriate. If the question is “can this pass our architecture review?”, move the code into a normal repo and open Cursor.
Split with peers
v0 when you only need UI components in a Vercel-shaped stack; Replit when education and multiplayer editing matter more than a single product polish path.
