Built @usepatchly in 6 days with Lovable. Stack: Lovable + Claude (Haiku & Sonnet) + Supabase + GitHub API + Vercel AI agencies can now ship websites in minutes with Lovable — but their clients usually can't edit them afterwards. Patchly turns those frontend repos into a visual CMS. Clients click text or images on a live site, edit them visually, and Patchly resolves the change back to the source code, commits to GitHub, and deploys to Vercel automatically (~20s). Technical highlights: • repo indexing across .tsx .jsx .astro .vue • deterministic JSX-safe direct-replace engine • multi-tier AI fallback pipeline with Claude • duplicate text disambiguation using DOM context • atomic multi-file commits via GitHub Trees API • webhook-driven incremental repo indexing • postMessage visual editing layer • automated Vercel deployments Demo youtube.com/watch?v=vG4QMn… code-playground-sparkle.lovable.app Full technical breakdown below 👇
Some ideas are too loud to ignore.
I have interviewed 100 of the best growth leaders over the past 5 years. None has impressed me as much as @ElenaVerna, Head of Growth @Lovable. Elena scaled Lovable's growth engine from $0 to $400M in ARR in just 2 years. Today, I released our 20Growth with Elena and have gone over it to condense my biggest lessons from the discussion. 🚀 8 Lessons on Building a $400M ARR Growth Machine: 1. Growth Is No Longer a Distribution Problem. It’s a Trust Problem. When anyone can build software with AI, functionality stops being the moat. Trust becomes the moat. The question customers ask is simple: “Do I trust this team to keep evolving the product?” 2. Your Product Is Now Your Most Important Channel The best acquisition channel in 2026 is the product itself. If users love the experience, they share it, talk about it and bring others in. Marketing becomes amplification of product delight. 3. Founder & Employee Socials Are the Most Underrated Growth Channel Most companies treat social like an intern posting memes. The real opportunity is employees building in public. When engineers, PMs and founders share what they are building, it builds trust and distribution simultaneously. 4. Paid Growth Too Early Is a Death Trap If you haven’t figured out organic demand yet, paid ads will simply burn cash faster. Until product-market fit is clear and funnels are optimized, paid growth is often just lighting money on fire. 5. CAC:LTV Is a Fantasy for Most Startups Most companies don’t actually know their LTV. Unless you’ve been operating for years, it’s guesswork. The metric that matters instead: payback period. How quickly do you get your cash back? 6. Community Should Be Built Around Superusers, Not Support Tickets Most “communities” become complaint forums. The right way: identify your early power users and make them ambassadors. Let them pull others in through enthusiasm, not customer service. 7. Don’t Lock Monetization into Subscriptions Many AI products are bursty. People build intensely for a period, then slow down. Allowing top-ups or usage-based purchases alongside subscriptions can dramatically increase revenue and retention. 8. The Best Growth Strategy Is Relentless Shipping Lovable ships improvements daily and major launches every 1–2 months. Constant product evolution keeps the company top-of-mind and continuously re-engages users. (Links below)
"Fear is a very natural outcome of change." Lovable CEO Anton Osika explains why anxiety over the software selloff is justified, telling @TomMackenzieTV there is still excitement about how AI is unlocking new ways to innovate. bloom.bg/46r3dRt
I just joined Lovable as their first Technical Evangelist. My job now: push the limits of what's possible with Lovable (and share it all here), embed with users, and bring what I learn from you back to the team to help shape what's next. That starts with office hours. Recurring, open to anyone. Share what you love, tell me what could be better, bring your feature requests, and wildest ideas. First slots open tomorrow and I'll drop the signup link here. What would you build if nothing technical stood in your way?
Starting now. @polar_sh x @Lovable hackathon Ralph Wiggum & Relax
