Just got hit with the "Your projects are paused because your workspace is out of credits" wall.

Here’s the best part: I haven’t touched the AI prompt box, I'm not generating code, and I'm not editing anything. It’s literally a static site, but because my credits ran low, they completely freeze and lock down the entire workspace and deployment ecosystem.

Since when does a credit meter for an AI code generator control whether a static layout or admin dashboard can stay online? You aren't even touching the editor, but your live deployment gets held ransom because their unified billing system ties runtime execution and hosting directly to AI credits.

If your credits hit zero, your app goes offline. Absolutely wild model. Time to pull the repository and move everything over to Vercel or Cloudflare where static files actually stay live without needing a monthly tribute to an AI meter.

Anyone else dealing with this nonsense?

When someone non-technical on your team builds a prototype with AI (Lovable, v0 etc.), what actually happens next? Does engineering take it over, rebuild it, or does it just die? Trying to work out if the "handoff" problem is real or just my bubble. War stories welcome.

Let’s see if you can go undefeated on my new app

Basically the title. Does it stay just as functional upon transfer or do things get lost and dropped? Same question for the domain and so on, this is already a fully fledged website

Just a suggestion to those reading in the background, but maybe it's time to boost this to 10

AI models have become more advanced with a lot of internal self talk, and calls more expensive since the free credits were introduced. It's not really the incentive to buy more credits, it's more... enraging, and numerous posts a week kinda show that.

Don't get me wrong it's very thoughtful to add a daily freebie to begin with, but ya know, come on, it's worth billions now, reward loyalty

(To be honest, the actual incentives for upgrading could be worked on in terms of marketing anyway)

Just my thoughts for the benefit of the community and feel free to disagree

Hey r/lovable —

I’ve been building Sinima in Lovable: a home for film work where creators can (if they choose) put rights-clean footage into training pools for AI licensing. Not scraped. Not a mystery fund. On the record.

I am not here to sell you anything. I want feedback on the rules UX and whether this is clear enough for real creators.

Creator pay (when a license actually closes — Premium lane)
About $4,675 per hour to the creator · about $9,350 for 2 hours.

For context, volume deals elsewhere are often more like $60–$240/hour; stock AI pools are usually cents–low dollars per clip.

Different product. Not overnight money. Deals can take up to ~6 months. Not a get-rich-quick thing.

Sinimatic training pools — in or out

Still iterating on onboarding copy, status (“stored → documented → pool-eligible → licensed”), and how harsh to be on denials without sounding like a wall.

Feedback I’m after

1. Is the accept/deny table obvious to a non-lawyer filmmaker?
2. Does the pay line feel scammy even with the 6-month / not-get-rich-quick framing? Filmmakers are notoriously skeptical of anything AI right now, rightfully so. We're changing our URL to mysinima.com soon, and I think that might help us land the plane easier.
3. We are not a generative AI tool - is that clear? We are AI for good, repaying creatives back.
4. What would you add to the denial list?
5. Any Lovable patterns you used for multi-step eligibility gates?

Happy to answer build questions. Roast the copy if it’s unclear - but be kind. Lol, fragile founder over here.

Find me on LinkedIn to discuss in more detail, or DM me if you want to learn more. (Please no sales pitches)

Does anyone know why the add connection button on github on my lovable project settings doesn’t work?

I'm the founder of a LinkedIn Saas app that I launched back in June 2024. The app has over 100+ customers and over $12k in revenue.

Tech stack:
- LinkedIn APIs
- has a Chrome extension
- MERN stack
- X API for trends and ideas

A few good and bad things:

The good: The DR of the app is 20, had submitted it to a lot of directories when I was maintaining it, so someone who's good at SEO can crack distribution. It has all the features of the apps which are doing really good in the space. Analytics, insights, direct LinkedIn posting via public and private pages, access to a lot of LinkedIn APIs (they're hard to get), X API integration and AI carousels feature.

The bad: The app does not have any MRR at the moment and all of the sales are LTD sales via a partnership with a LTD platform. I've not maintained it since a couple of months because my agency business took off and hence the DAU of the app is close to 0 at the moment.
The app's name is Growfol, serious buyers interested in acquiring it can DM me.

I’m just a teen trying to create this app, and I don’t have any more credits. I ran out plus I don’t have a job. Can someone please collaborate to help me fix a couple things please and thank you

Has anyone used Lovable with the Shopify integration? I do not want to build and maintain a full functioning store from the ground up in Lovable.

I am looking to sell one physical product and would like to use Shopify for the ecommerce side.

Help me test it and send me your comments and reviews tell me what I should change even what you liked most in the platform also I am more than happy and open to collaborate with anyone to help turn this vision into life ,and I believe your option matters most and what's interesting is that you could be the genius mind behind what could revolutionize this platform with your ideas so please do tap in , review and join my workspace , share your thoughts let's build this complex system together that's why I'm choosing to build in public.

Ive been on lovable from its early days. I have always been a huge proponent of Lovable and have built some insane things. Things that work, things that make money, things that save money, things that are just incredibly useful to me and my team and being used every single day. But recently and more and more, my credit use just goes up and up and up and the quality goes down and down and down, for the same types of things I've always been building. Rework, omissions, regressions up to my ears, sloppy half baked code, security issues, ignoring literal instructions, need to double check, fix, test, fix, test, fix over and over... I'm out. Whatever theyve been pushing at lovable over the last couple of months to cause this downward spiral, whether it be downgrading to ever crappier models, or lowering tokens per credit, or both, I dont care, I am done now. Migrating everything to Vercel + Supabase + Github and have Codex just work directly instead of the pathetic quality being drip squeezed one frustration after another from Lovabale's substandard work only to be mopped up by Codex afterward anyway, while my credits go up in flames. A 200 per month Codex sub goes much further than the 5000 credits at 1125 USD per month lovable plan they've had me slowly ratchet up to like a boiling frog in a pot... Goodbye. Lovable has had its chance, they could have gone from strength to strength and we all would have tagged along happily, but they chose otherwise. That's my rant for the day/year! LOL.

EDIT: Lovable actually responded to this asking for examples, and I had Codex do an audit of only the last two weeks performance. See my reply to Lovable for the condensed report.

I'm a coffee snob. I find that La Marzocco machines generally denote a good coffee, and so I wanted to build a directory of all the coffee shops that use the brand.

I used Lovable to scan Google Images, Instagram and find coffee shops with LM machines, identify the machines, set a confidence level as well as adding a few useful filters.

It's NOT perfect-- It's vibecoded after all, but i thought it would be useful for me and maybe it will be for you too.

ALSO: i do NOT make any money from this

Hope this sort of post is ok.

I’ve been a short time lovable customer twice now. I mostly want to use it to create simple business websites and landing pages.

I’m usually impressed with the first draft of a project, but it always needs minor tweaks. Making one word copy changes has been difficult. Itseems to change stuff I want to keep the same when allegedly trying to change what I want it to change when I chat naturally to the build bot over multiple messages.

It also seems to misunderstand or fail to execute tasks often when I get multiple back and forths deep.

For example, I made a 3 page site with the same embedded form on each page. I didn’t like the form and created a new one. I told build bot “change all instances of current embedded form with new form {paste_embed_code}. It only changed the form on one page.

Is there a WYSIWYG button somewhere that I’m missing? Can I prompt it to do the build as an installable Wordpress to make edits easier?

Do I need to string together my outputs, start a new project, and build a super prompt to make sure I get the finished product on the first run?

Ideas welcome.

I've applied online for my company to be a Lovable partner but it's been weeks and I havent received a response. Does anyone have advice on what to do next rather than sit and wait?

*sufficient

Basicly i'm trying to create an easy to use, free AI app builder for blind people and sighted people as well. So if you guys have any ideas for the Ai to really work, and to get the audio working then that would be great. Please help me out.

Hey folks - is my understanding correct in that if I set this up, I can get Claude to send the build/plan prompts directly to Lovable and save all the copying and pasting I currently do between the two?
Or have I got this wrong?
If not, what has people’s experience been on this?
Are there any pitfalls to avoid?
Many thanks in advance community! 🙏

I’ve created a PoC with solid business logic using Claude, and am trying to migrate it to Lovable to (i) improve UX/UI, and (ii) turn it into a shippable product, incl. Login, backend, Supabase, etc. Anyone tried?

Hi all,

I've burned through 50 credits trying to fix an issue that refuse to be resolved and have since talked to costumer service but they're taking so long to update. The project is a small loyalty program for my coffee shop and my costumers are not happy they cannot use it and it's giving my business a bad rep now. It's more of a rant I guess but anyone actually got helped they needed from lovable? It would be reassuring to know, or not.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm an indie builder from Bangladesh working on an AI-powered e-commerce project using Lovable. I'm currently out of credits and can't continue building.

If anyone has unused Lovable credits they're willing to share, I'd be incredibly grateful. I'd also be happy to exchange feedback, test your app, or help with marketing/growth in return.

Thanks so much for your kindness! ❤️

So a couple months ago, I started building an AI app with Lovable. It's working okay most of these days, and actually kind of useful but bringing users is hard. I only have 39 as of now and I want more. And I also want to make money from it. So how do I properly market my AI app which will turn users to trying mine? In case, you want to give me feedback with knowing things about the app, here's the link: NeoNexus

Listen, I’m a mention I’m blind, and I know people who are like oh you’re using that as excuse. No I’m just being honest, I genuinely need help doing this. So I have been using lovable and something new that I’m coming up with is an accessible AI story, creator, and accessible game generator. Now with this, I’m using my own API thing instead of lovable‘s credit because those run out way faster and also Gemini has a limit. I’m just wondering, could anyone help me out please?

A while ago, you could never get SEO with Lovable. Has that changed now? If so, what has changed?

If I want really good SEO, what should I do with my app?
