💡 Personal Tips
Lovable is magic for MVPs. I've gone from idea to deployed app in under an hour. The generated code is surprisingly clean — React + Supabase stack. For anything beyond a prototype, you'll want a developer to refine it. Compared to Bolt.new, Lovable produces more polished full-stack output. Compared to v0, it's better at complete apps but v0 wins on component design quality.
