Lovable was (is?) heavily vibe-coded AFAIK. Allegedly there’s a lot of 1-2 people startups making good money out there, and those were likely impossible without vibe coding (they’d take much more time to build) The “toy app” feel is really not a big problem if you put some effort into it. It’s very easy to see landing pages made with a one-shot request on Cursor, but if you put some effort into adjusting things, you can get to pretty good design in a fraction of the time. To be clear, my position is “vibe coding” _must_ include _some_ level of coding by hand (not entirely prompting an AI), at least with the current generation of tools. Another tidbit, in my personal experience, is that lovable & co are enabling completely non-technical people to push out hot sites, marketing material, etc (including simple interactive experiences, for instance) quite flawlessly and quickly. This would require a dedicated engineer at least, in the past. It’s what the “no code” promise of years past was supposed to enable (IMO it didn’t, webflow/etc are clunky and hard to use even for non-coders).
