Free This Weekend - Vibe Coding on Lovable
Idea to App in Seconds
This is your weekend to try vibe coding for yourself - for free. On that platform that had more than 10 million unique users last month, just six months after its own launch.
Have an idea for a process, app, or website that could help you with your job, your side hustle, or partner’s pet project? Lovable’s vibe coding platform for non-technical builders is free all weekend while they host an AI showdown where you can also test OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google’s LLMs head-to-head. See details of the announcement here or visit https://lovable.dev/
Lovable’s mission is to help anyone and everyone create web apps using natural language and AI—no code or technical expertise required. All those years of relying (and waiting) on a developer or IT to support your ideas may be a thing of the past.
Lovable’s momentum has been astronomical - their company passed $60M in revenue 6 months after their debut with less than 50 people on staff!
The product has seen viral adoption because of how sophisticated the web pages and apps it creates can be - all created using plain English. Users with no coding background have successfully built a wide range of sites, including advanced sites with login pages, set up databases, and enabled authentication. Customer testimonials like “I did 6 months of work in 2 days with Lovable” and the like in a gushing, vibrant communities are fueling its fire.
I don’t want to be a gusher because you guys read my newsletter for my balanced, impartial view. And in full transparency, I just started advising Lovable, working with the amazing Elena Verna.
But I have been AMAZED. From the inside, I can tell you this growth and momentum are real. The customer's love and creativity are unbelievable. It’s unlike almost anything I’ve seen before - even in the early days of Atlassian. We didn’t grow at these same revenue rates, but did have the customer love and pull which propelled our momentum all.the.way.
But who cares about the company itself - what really matters is if it can help you:
create a landing page prototype NOW that is otherwise dead in someone’s endless backlog
create that website for your personal brand that you never hired that designer to do
create a campaign microsite to pitch the idea for a big investment
create a ROI tool or maturity model microsite to drive leads
Lovable is trying to give 99% of the population who don’t know how to code access to bringing their ideas to life through software. That’s me. And I think most of my readers.
Want to Browse? If you need ideas or just want to consume instead of creating, check out their massive repository of customer app examples at their Launched site.
Want to Go Deep? Their get-started guide is here. Or you could join the 6-week “Shipped” deep learning and assisted development program that’s just kicking off. Use the buddy code: LVBLCARILU
Want to see something crazy? Even orthopedic surgeons have ideas for their own apps (he created this video lobbying to join their 6-week Shipped program.)
Give it a try this weekend for free! Would love to hear your thoughts.
