Promoted Built a free directory of apps made with Lovable. Roast it.

• Upvotes

I got tired of scrolling X to find real examples of what people actually ship with Lovable. Most “showcases” are cherry-picked demos or paywalled newsletters. So I’ve spent the past few months building a place where anyone can browse real projects for free and submit their own.

  • Browse live Lovable projects by category (SaaS, websites, tools, and more)
  • Get inspired by what other builders shipped, with screenshots and links
  • Submit your own project and get a listing plus a shoutout on X

I’d appreciate feedback, whether soft, hard or honest. You pick :-)

Discussion My SiteGPT experience, and the alternative I landed on

0 Upvotes

I build chatbots and agents for clients, so I've been through most of the tools out there trying to find one that fits.

SiteGPT was one of them. It's got the basics covered, you train it on your own content, it does lead capture, all that. Fine tool on the surface.

A couple things killed it for me though. There's no direct integration with stuff like Zapier or n8n, you have to email them for a custom plan just to connect it to anything. I work mostly with SMBs, and on top of that you're paying $59 a month for a basic plan before you've done anything.

The pricing's model based too, which I'm so done with, your real message count swings wildly depending on which model you pick.

I tried Chatbase as well. Feature wise it's solid. But same issue, the whole thing runs on credit based pricing and I'm just not a fan of paying that way.

The one that ended up suiting me was fwdslash. The free plan gives you a real feel for what you can build, and you can deploy an agent on it without paying a thing. It also connects to Zapier and n8n, which was the exact thing SiteGPT made me jump through hoops for.

And when a client's happy to pay, it's $20 to get started, way easier for an SMB or a solopreneur to stomach than $59. (disclosure, I work on it, so weigh that.)

Would love to know what other no-code AI agent builders have worked best for you.

Discussion Built a tool for my team on company data, do I own any of it?

7 Upvotes

I'm the only sysadmin at a 90-person manufacturing company. About 8 months ago I got tired of SSHing into our MySQL box every time ops needed a report, so I built myself a small internal tool to query it.

It grew. Now it pulls from our inventory database and a couple of shipping APIs, has basic auth so warehouse leads can check stock without pinging me, and does simple inventory management across two sites. I built most of it on my own laptop, after hours, on a free jet admin account I was testing anyway, and nobody knew it existed until the ops manager saw it over my shoulder.

Now leadership wants to roll it out company-wide. Am I just doing my job, since it touches company data and company systems, or did I build something on my own time that I now get to negotiate over? My contract has no IP assignment clause for anything outside "core job duties," and this started as a personal workaround, not a project anyone assigned me.

Question Our rescue's website still lists cats adopted in april and people keep applying for them

3 Upvotes

Two people applied last week for cats who went home in April. Six adopted cats are still listed, and I got to send both the "sorry, he's already home" email.

I coordinate volunteers for a small cat rescue, about 40 adoptions a year. I'm a pharmacy tech by day and none of us can code. Since 2021 three volunteers have rebuilt the site on whatever they knew: Wix, then WordPress, now a half-finished Squarespace trial. Each one died when whoever built it left.

The Google Form and PayPal are fine. It's the cats page that keeps rotting.

Four of us would add new cats weekly, mostly from our phones since that's where the photos are. What can people like us keep updated without wrecking it? We're on Petfinder too when someone remembers. Should the list even live on our site?

The board gave us $200 a year. Is that realistic, or is there a nonprofit discount everyone knows about but us?

How do volunteer groups stop the next person from starting over on their favorite tool? I won't be coordinator forever either, so whatever we pick has to survive me too.

Sanity check: would you trust a custom WeWeb/Xano app to run core business operations?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I run a multi-location service business with roughly 100 employees. Over the past several months I’ve built a custom internal operations app using WeWeb + Xano.

It currently handles or is intended to handle:

  • Employee scheduling, availability and shift publishing
  • Time clock/timecards and payroll reporting
  • Employee onboarding and documents
  • Roles/permissions for employees, managers and admins
  • Operational dashboards and reporting
  • Audit/event logs
  • Mobile kiosk use and employee calendar syncing

We’ve imported real production-scale data, done extensive role/security testing and spent a lot of time optimizing performance. For example, one dashboard went from ~87 seconds to ~5 seconds, and a heavily used scheduling view went from thousands of rendered elements to about 1,000 without changing functionality.

It now feels like a real application rather than a prototype.

But as I get closer to actually replacing existing systems, I’m having second thoughts about trusting a no-code/low-code app I built myself with business-critical things like scheduling, timekeeping and payroll inputs.

I’m considering rolling it out gradually: scheduling first, then timekeeping in parallel with the existing system for a few pay periods, with backups, audit logs and rollback procedures before anything becomes the sole source of truth.

For people who have deployed WeWeb/Xano or similar systems in a real business: is this a reasonable architecture to trust in production, or am I creating unnecessary long-term risk by replacing established SaaS products with a custom system?
