Lovable

Lovable is our pick to represent app generators. Describe what you want and it generates a complete web app and puts it online. When you need a database, sign-in, or file storage, you connect Supabase through the same chat.

Why it is an alternative, not a top pick

This site is for people who code a little. For you, the best use of a generator is validating ideas, not long-term development:

• It makes every decision for you. Project structure, dependencies, and hosting all follow its defaults, which is why it is fast. Once you need something off that path, working around it is harder than writing the code yourself.
• Reviewing is expensive. One message can touch many files, and reviewing diffs in the browser is much harder than in an IDE.

What it gets right

• The code is yours. The output is standard React + TypeScript with two-way sync to your own GitHub repository: changes in Lovable are pushed to the repo, and local changes sync back.
• A backend out of the box. Supabase provides a Postgres database, authentication, file storage, and edge functions, all configured through chat.

How we recommend using it

1. Write your first prompt from the brief in the souvenir, scoped to one core flow.
2. As soon as the prototype works, connect GitHub.
3. When you decide to get serious, clone the repo, add an AGENTS.md, and continue in Cursor or Pi.

# Lovable first-prompt brief

Build <one-sentence product description> for <target users>.

## Only this core flow
1. The user <first step>
2. The user <second step>
3. The user sees <result>

## Data
- Store: <entities and fields, e.g. "task: title, due date, done">
- Sign-in required: <yes / no>; if yes, use email sign-in and make sure each user only sees their own data

## Interface
- Style: <one visual style, or paste an AI prompt from the Style Museum>
- Must work on phone screens

## Not yet
- Payments, multiple languages, admin panels, notifications

When you are done, list the pages and tables you created and anything not yet implemented.
