Lovable (formerly GPT Engineer) is a browser-based AI builder. You write a prompt, it produces a full React app with auth, database, and deployment. Default stack: - Frontend: React + Vite + Tailwind + shadcn/ui - Backend: Supabase (auto-provisioned) - Hosting: lovable.app subdomain or custom domain - Auth: Supabase Auth (email magic link, Google, Apple)

First Project in 5 Minutes

1. Sign up at [lovable.dev](https://lovable.dev) with Google 2. New Project → write your prompt 3. 30-60 seconds → app ready 4. Live preview in right pane 5. Optionally connect custom domain Sample prompt: For coffee-shop owners who want to know which weekday and hour is busiest, I want a mini dashboard that lets them log customer counts hourly. Auth with email magic link, daily timeline view, weekly summary chart. Lovable reads this and produces: - Magic link auth flow - Dashboard page - Hourly input form (time dropdown + count) - Weekly summary chart - Supabase tables with RLS

Lovable manages Supabase end-to-end: - Creates the project - Generates tables - Writes RLS policies (defaults!) - Configures auth Important: audit the default RLS policies. Test with a logged-out session — can you read data you shouldn't? Default policies are not always tight.

Settings → Domain → Connect domain - At your DNS provider, add an A record pointing to Lovable's IP - HTTPS provisions automatically within 24 hours Custom domain is required for Stripe/iyzico webhooks and SEO.

Mobile App via Capacitor

Convert your Lovable web app into iOS/Android. 1. Lovable → "Export to GitHub" → clone 2. npm install @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli 3. npx cap init 4. npx cap add ios && npx cap add android 5. Open in Xcode, build, deploy to TestFlight

Free: 5 messages/day, fine for small projects - Pro: $25/month — 100 messages/day, the standard indie tier - Team: $100/month — shared workspaces Payment in USD via Stripe. iyzico available for Turkish customers.

Indie Founder 4-Week Launch

Week 1: Lovable MVP. 5 hrs/day → landing + dashboard + auth ready by day 4. Week 2: Payments. Stripe via webhook → plan upgrade flow. Week 3: Custom domain + privacy policy + ToS + logo + OG image. Week 4: Launch on LinkedIn / Reddit / Product Hunt. 1:1 calls with first 10 paying customers, encode feedback into Lovable.

Stack lock: To leave React+Vite+Tailwind+Supabase, you export to GitHub and continue in Cursor or another editor. - Generic shadcn UI: Manual CSS work needed for distinct branding. - Complex state: 5+ pages can develop inconsistencies; audit. - Free tier limits: Production traffic needs Pro.

Lovable is friendlier for absolute beginners; Bolt has more stack flexibility. [Full comparison](https://vibecodingturkey.com/en/rehberler/lovable-vs-bolt).
