Designing Lovable from the ground up has been the greatest privilege of my career. Today we announced our $330M Series B at a $6.6B valuation. First: thank you to the millions of people building with Lovable. When we started, we knew AI would eventually write most of the world's code. We also knew the most meaningful thing we could do was put that power in everyone's hands—not just the 1% who could code before. For decades, software has been eating the world. But the ability to create it was locked behind years of learning syntax and frameworks. The barrier to build is gone now. This round lets us continue what we've always done—invest in the best team to make the best product possible. On design, that means we're expanding the team with: - Product designers who ship - Design engineers with impeccable taste - Motion designers who push the bleeding edge If this sounds like you, send me a DM. Tell me a bit about yourself and share some work you're genuinely proud of. Thank you everyone for being on this wild ride so far.

@pablostanley @mamuso @evilrabbit_ @adrianmg Great hangs! My gf asked why we all have the same physical vibe. 😅 Happy to be cosplaying as a latinx who designs!

@evilrabbit_ @raycast @cursor_ai @vercel likewise! 🖤

@nadonomy @raycast @cursor_ai @vercel it was so nice meeting you 🙏

5,000 miles from home catching up with old friends and making new ones @raycast @cursor_ai @vercel

Lovable's bottom sheets are built with @silk_hq. On the web and in the app. Same code. Native feel everywhere.

The next AI Tinkerers London is on the 5th of May featuring a fireside chat with @nadonomy - Head of Design at @Lovable. Alongside will be talks from leading AI Engineers including @Mappletons - Principal Research Engineer at GitHub

Last week we hosted our second @Lovable design night in Stockholm. >100 of Stockholm's finest, with people travelling from as far as South Africa to join! Thanks @doctorbaytas for ranting about dark mode, @marinaanddesign for showing beautiful work, @six7 for explaining sources of truth, and @DanHollick for showing off fun tools. Want to speak at our next one? DMs are open.

@lukaivanovic @Lovable welcome! 🫶

i've joined @Lovable :)

You can just start.

Craft is still at the heart of what we do at @Lovable Sometimes it's tough with the speed with which we move, but most days we try and honestly it matters. Sharing some sketches and process from the last few weeks. A few of these posters are already live in Soho, NY.

A new class of founders is emerging. The team put together a fun mini site to help find what kind of founder you are.

Next design night in Stockholm, in 2 weeks, with: @marinaanddesign brand, elevenlabs @DanHollick ex-tailwind, raycast @doctorbaytas design eng, attio @six7 github, tokens studio Last months was a blast, with >500 registered. Drop me a note to get fast tracked. luma.com/xmczpl5h

@designertom @evilrabbit_ I spy @bstsrvdbld, looking forward to this

There is so much unhelpful noise on social media from designers. Critics of every aspect from content creation to AI to role evolution. Hype and doom and snark and attacks. The loudest seem to have the root cause pinpointed and the opinions are aggressively tribal. Massive convictions built on personal experiences. It’s exhausting to absorb day after day, but I consume it all. Every comment, post, video, interview, survey. From LinkedIn to X to Reddit to YouTube. I run quarterly surveys. State of Prototyping has 1400 responses, report drops next week. I interview founders, design leads, and contributors from companies like Figma to Notion to Antrhopic to Cursor to JP Morgan to Intel to Microsoft to Dexcom. I host events, engage in good faith debates, and our lab runs experiments with all the new tools. I spend 48 hours embedded with design teams from Iverson to Perplexity to Vercel to Metalab. I’m truthseeking in a way few others are. There are two patterns in common amongst those who are thriving right now: 1. They and their teams embrace change 2. They love bringing their ideas to life That’s it. Anyone suggesting otherwise is highlighting the exception (of which there are many) and likely has a narrower scope. There are also clear patterns amongst those that aren’t coping well right now, whether they know it or not. I’m not ready to write that essay, yet. I’d rather focus on what appears to be working for others. My advice (and I rarely make these suggestions): if you’re unhappy with your circumstances and you have high conviction in your world view, consider re-evaluating the latter to improve the former. Worth noting: everyone is uncertain right now - the unemployed and the thriving. But the world is small and being kind is free. Don’t self-disqualify by forgetting those two points. I’ll continue to surface the patterns we’re seeing. There is a lot to be encouraged about.

@thenickpattison TIL

Two brands we designed, working together. You love to see it

Lovable can now just do things: Create and edit files Turn files into apps Analyse anything Generate files Create videos Ideate Create Launch Market

@theshre @dougli_ @meetgranola @lightfern_ai is the dock tooltip deliberate designer bait?

One of my favourite people to talk to about making UK tech stronger is @dougli_ and I'm excited to have him speak at @meetgranola on April 7! Doug is the co-founder of @lightfern_ai, the telepathic AI writing tool that pulls context from your email threads to predict whole phrases as you type. All powered by an autocomplete model they trained in-house. He was previously the first hire for OpenAI UK and his research team significantly improved GPT-4o's writing, voice accents, & image gen. April 7. RSVP below!
