Lessons learned starting with Lovable

First, I am amazed at Lovable’s capabilities and ease of use. It’s almost too good, which caused me some extra work. Here are some tips:

I started my projects working with Claude to create a scope of work, and a project description. It help me build n8n workflows, design the UI, scope the database and tables, and ultimately a big Lovable prompt. My biggest mistake was creating my database and associated tables in Supabase. Don’t do that! Link Lovable to Supabase and it will create those databases for you. u my own caused a lot of confusion as Lovable was not using them. Just give Lovable the full script and let it work.

You will have many revisions. Everything from small tweaks to big changes in the layout, adding pages (terms of service, Privacy, ADA, contact, etc).

Test everything. If you integrate a payment platform like Stripe, test it. If you have a free trial, make sure that Lovable actually sets an expiration date for the trial.

Follow the suggestions to fix security holes.

Make your site ADA-compliant.

Test it on multiple devices. Make sure it renders well on mobile.

Lovable makes suggestions after it executes most prompts. Use them.

You can build a great app with fewer than 200 tokens, even 150. That’s making something that looks professional and COMPLETE.
