Lovable – Getting started & project examples

The popular AI platform Lovable from Sweden makes it possible to quickly create functioning web applications, tools or prototypes without the need for coding skills. Instead of writing code by hand, Lovable helps you turn ideas into interactive projects – from websites and landing pages to tools and dashboards.

What can you create with Lovable?

With Lovable, creative and useful web projects can be developed in no time at all. The possibilities range from websites, landing pages, illustrative simulation tools, data-driven analysis applications, dashboards, business applications such as simple CRMs or ERPs, AI applications and much more. You create these applications simply by prompt. Lovable generates the code for the front end in the background and, if required, even a back end with API or database connection. The code, which is largely based on Typescript, can then be further customized via prompt or directly in the code editor. This makes it possible to create amazing projects with Lovable in a very short time.

Popular project examples with Lovable

If you want to see Lovable projects in action, you can use the following sources. This will quickly give you a good impression of how versatile and practical Lovable can be.

  • Featured Projects: In the community area of the website, you can see project examples of the free version of Lovable in action and test or remix them directly (=use them in your own projects)
  • Lovable Launched: Projects that have already been published live are shown on the dedicated Launched website. Users can vote and the projects are quickly given a platform to attract new users

We have taken a look at some of the projects and early works launched here and present the possibilities here as inspiration for your own Lovable projects.

Lovable project: Physics simulator

Fun: In the physics simulator, you can click to create hundreds of triangles, circles and squares, which then behave physically and bounce and slide off each other.

Lovable project: Diagram creation via AI

Useful: You can use the AI prompt to generate a diagram with the Mermaid language to quickly show a flowchart for illustration purposes. To do this, you need to enter your OpenAI key (tip: remix the project, check the code, then enter the sensitive key)

Lovable project: Website of the tech start-up “WRLDS”

Impressive: The textile tech startup WRLDS from Sweden has apparently created its entire website, including the news section, with Lovable. This impressively shows how powerful Lovable is when it comes to website creation.

Conclusion: Lovable is a game changer

The EU unicorn Lovable from Sweden impressively demonstrates how far generative AI has already come in the field of web development. Prototypes, websites or even more complex applications can be created in just a few minutes – a clear advantage for founders, creatives and anyone who wants to implement ideas quickly. The remix function and community projects in particular make it easy to get inspired and try out your own approaches without in-depth coding knowledge.

At the same time, the weaknesses should not be overlooked: As the code is AI-generated, errors or security vulnerabilities can occur, and handling sensitive data requires special care. Lovable is therefore no substitute for professional software development, but is best suited for quick prototypes, test concepts and initial implementations, which should later be further developed with clean code.

The bottom line is that Lovable is an exciting game changer – but one where you should enjoy the hype with a healthy dose of caution and personal responsibility.

Frequently asked questions about Lovable

How can I use Lovable free of charge?

Lovable can be used free of charge, for which you can use 5 credits per day, which corresponds to approx. 5 prompts. In the free version, all projects created by the authors are then freely and publicly available to the community and can be used further. With the remix function, you can simply copy an existing project and adapt it further yourself.

Coding vs. no-code: What are the limits of Lovable?

The no-code AI solution Lovable does not replace clean coding of applications. The applications created with it are created by AI coding in the background, whereby errors can always occur, which can also lead to data loss or serious privacy problems under certain circumstances. However, for rapid prototypes and websites in particular, Lovable can achieve impressively mature results.

Is Lovable trustworthy and secure?

You should always be careful about entering your personal information into untrustworthy or insecure project websites to protect yourself from data theft and fraud. Of course, this applies to any online offer or website, regardless of the technical means used to create it. However, generative AI currently makes it much easier for criminals to deceive people, for example by quickly creating an appealing website to be used for their own purposes.

How can you learn Lovable?

Lovable doesn’t take long to learn, because you simply create your web applications using a prompt. Nevertheless, it is helpful to have an understanding of web development, UX design and vibe coding in order to create appealing and error-free applications. The AI can make mistakes when coding and only with the right prompts can you get things right again. For more complex applications with database usage, you need somewhat deeper technical skills for the setup, because you have to set up the database using Supabase (currently the only database supported by Lovable).
