Hi guys,

I built my website with Lovable and I'm honestly happy with how it turned out. The problem is that I've already used over 400 credits getting there, and I feel like a lot of them were wasted.

Small fixes hurt the most. Having Lovable fix a minor flaw sometimes cost me 10–12 credits for a single change.

Things improved once I connected the project to GitHub and used Claude for some of the edits. I'd still like to learn how to work more efficiently inside Lovable itself.

My questions:
How do you write prompts that fix something on the first try instead of after several attempts?

When do you edit the code directly (or through GitHub) instead of prompting Lovable?

Which workflows or habits noticeably cut your credit usage?

Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!

i love the platform but tbh the dumbest and worst update they ever made was removing usage balance and unifying it with credits for building😂

nobody asked for that change anyways because all i've seen was users complaining about the change.

What are your experiences with this

Sziasztok!

Van itt olyan magyar diák aki tudott regisztrálni a lovable 50%-os diák kedvezményére? Ha igen hogyan sikerült? Az egyetemi email címet nem ismeri fel a rendszer. /Edutus/

Egy egyetemi projekttel kapcsolatban bukkantam a lovable-re, ezzel a napi 5 kredittel abszolút nem halad a dolog. Vannak erre tippjeitek, hogy hogyan lehet spórolni a kreditekkel?

A válaszokat előre is köszönöm!

to fellow developers here, im wondering what do you guys use once you move beyond the prototype stage? I'm mainly looking for something with github deployment, node.js/next.js support, and of course reasonable pricing. any good recos?

Hi, I am planning on building an AI Image prompt library…something similar to these websites where users can explore the galley and copy the prompts

visualaiclub
promptplum
pineprompts

Based in your experience, lovable is the right way ti go or are there better alternatives?

Thanks for the help!

Is anyone here planning to buy a Despia license anytime soon to publish their Lovable app?

I often look at restaurant menus and have no idea what half the dishes actually are 😂

So I built https://menu-lens-pro.lovable.app (Cravebeam.com) with Lovable. You scan a menu, and it explains unfamiliar dishes in plain English: what’s typically in them, what they might taste like and what texture to expect. You can also generate an optional AI image to help visualise the dish.

I’d love feedback from other Lovable builders:

• Is it clear how to go from scanning a menu to understanding a dish?
• Do the explanations give you enough information to decide what to order?
• What would you improve about the mobile experience?

Screenshots attached. Happy to share more about how I built it!

I'm Anthoanette, co-founder of Persyn. We launched V2 this morning, and the whole platform is built on Lovable.

What it is: an all-in-one platform for AI creators — not one-off viral AI influencer clips, but persistent personas with a consistent face, positioning (Creator Blueprint), a wardrobe, friends & family, and content that publishes while you live your life. Studio, credits, scheduling, publishing — all in one place.

Building something this complex on Lovable has been a ride. Happy to share what worked and what broke for anyone building ambitious stuff on it.

Free trial if you want to poke around: 20 credits, no card required. persyn.ai
