I love lovable and i've built a few apps. Some simple and some complex. I've also built an iOS app with Cursor. Marketing is the main issue. Getting it out into the world and getting people to pay for it. Thats the true difficulty.
Awesome you’re using Cursor as well, I hear such good things. I’d love to make more apps, what you’re doing sounds very fun.
And agreed, great point, funnels are the hardest part. Hustle Buddy leverages my existing business assets (email list, YouTube, blogs etc) but if I was starting from scratch I’d be posting on Reddit, Quora, X, ProductHunt etc to grind out the first users.
You got this!! 😊 Glad you found it helpful. And it’s honestly so cool. The very act of starting to build gets all these wheels turning. Like the realization: “I can do THAT with text prompts!?”
Hey Chris, I was coming to ask a similar question, so I thought I'd my comment here.
I have a lot more trust using Replit than Lovable, just in terms of security by default built into Replit — but it's been months since I used Lovable.
The one time I used lovable, I made a website that tracked my eyes to control the cursor on the screen, and I was absolutely taken back that it worked in to shots. I thought it would fail, but it didn't. But at the time I found the tweaking and debugging didn't work so well.
Is there anything specifically unique and lovable that you really like?
I ended up spending a lot more of my time with Cursor and Replit.
ps. Tom, your app is awesome. I look forward to turning on a paywall and one of the things I make soon thanks to the push.
Thanks Dominik for the kind words :) also you guys know way more about this stuff than I do haha, it’s so great you’re both using Cursor and Replit. I need to branch out and learn some more tools I think
Love your article. I used lovable last weekend, I’ve owned a branding and website agency for 15 years. I hated it….i mean I love that it exsists but also I think it’s better for not much experience where the flow is exciting. My brain had resistance because I wanted it to work like a designer. So fascinating…to see where I need to adapt. Totally awesome though. I’m into vibe coding, it was more about where my resistance and experience with ux was as opposed to the platform. ( if that makes sense??)

I’ve tried loveable early on, but I prefer Replit. They had database integration right off the bat. Great read. Follower you!
I've heard Replit is awesome, that's also great to hear. I gotta check this out now 😊 thanks for the support as well
This is inspiring! Just all the potential!
Now I have to figure out how to apply it in my own lane🤔

Hi Tom, good post. I was thinking about doing something similar with Replit. Have you had any experience with Replit and do you prefer Lovable?
