“Lovable actually works and is more stable than competitors, with great integrations and professional-looking results, though it gets buggy after extended development.”
Best for: Developers building landing pages, MVPs, and web apps up to moderate complexity who prioritize stability over framework flexibility.
⚠️ Gets buggy after 2-3 weeks or 300 messages; limited to React/Vite stack; uses single-page app architecture which hurts SEO; GitHub integration creates thousands of commits; branch switching has issues
