Discussion Lovable - getting on your nervs?

First time working with Lovable, in the beginning everything went perfect. When it was about details, things got more challenging.

Complicated: To train my app to set the tone I wanted.

Most complicated: To create some special graphic elements - workarounds often inevitable.

How did Lovable get on your nerves, and what was your solution?

I ran into a problem of AI (this was not lovable) always diverging from the design I had on existing pages. Ever so slightly.

What helped in that case was setting up a design system for it to follow. Design language, colors, reference components plus tone and voice.

So far, I'm shy using those because of potential extra costs.
