Officially a @Lovable Ambassador 🤍 This one means a lot. I have spent a long time showing up, learning, building, and pushing myself to get better every single day. There were a lot of late nights, a lot of trial and error, and a lot of moments where nobody was watching. But I stayed consistent and trusted the process. Being recognized by Lovable is more than just a title to me. It is an opportunity to keep creating, to be part of something innovative, and to help others step into what is possible with AI and design. I am excited to be part of a community that is building the future and giving creators real tools, real access, and real opportunities to grow. We are just getting started 🚀 #vibecoding #vibecode #lovable

I originally went into this thinking I could build my entire sports news platform inside @Lovable . At a surface level, it actually worked. I was able to get pages up, structure content, and start shaping what the product could look like. But as I pushed further into building something more complex and content-heavy, I kept running into issues with stability and functionality that slowed things down more than expected. That ultimately led me to take a step back and rethink the approach. Instead of continuing to force everything inside the builder, I shifted to designing the full experience in @figma and rebuilding the @webflow site with that as the foundation. Having a centralized, neutral source of truth for layouts, components, and structure has already made a huge difference. It’s cleaner, more scalable, and gives me a lot more confidence as the platform grows. I want to be very clear though, this is not a dig at Lovable. I’m an ambassador, and I genuinely believe in what they’re building. I talk about their team and product all the time because I think they’re doing a lot of things right. This is more of a heads up for anyone considering migrating a larger, more complex site into Lovable today. There are still some limitations you’ll want to be aware of depending on your use case. One unexpected upside from all of this is that I ended up creating a design I’m really proud of. The structure, the layout system, the way content flows across sections. It all clicked in a way it hadn’t before. Now I’m taking that exact design and fully systemizing it in Figma so it can scale properly moving forward. Sometimes the “detour” ends up being the best part of the process.

@lazarframer Wild to me this isn't obvious to everyone, before they even dive into building one page.

I’ve noticed a lot of new Framer template creators making the same mistake over and over. Everyone’s building design agency templates, using Lummi or AI images, following the same patterns, everything looks the same. When there are thousands of templates in the same niche, it’s almost impossible to make money by doing the same thing as everyone else. You need to be actually unique, have an irresistible offer, and yeah, a bit of luck too. A lot of people start like this, see no sales or get rejected by Framer, and then just quit.

I initially assumed I could build my sports news site in Lovable. While it worked at a surface level, I ran into repeated issues with stability and functionality. That experience ultimately pushed me to rebuild the Webflow site using Figma, giving us a centralized and neutral source of truth for the site’s layout moving forward.

Share what you are working on

@iamsahilvhora vaughn.agency

Looking to follow more designers. Drop your work below if you want to connect.

@MarceloDesignX @claudeai @Blender Yeah I shouldnt have went HAM lol. It crashed.

@ohioaustyn @claudeai @Blender Maybe try starting with a simple cube or sphere in Blender? Claude AI can get tripped up with more complex shapes.

I am not sure what you all are doing to get @claudeai to actually make something in @Blender but I have yet to get it to make any sort of shape. Maybe I was asking for too much at first. Attempting something very simple now...

@alexispresa Desperately. vaughn.agency

Any designers in my network looking for work? I may have a gig for you.

@designertom @MarkKnd @designertom I am a Lovable ambassador, I dont have all of my Case Studies with Lovable projects on my agency site. You can see that site here: vaughn.agency and id be happy to share my projects with them!

why use touchdesigner when you can just touch a designer

@mattworkman I cant even get it to do anything at all. I have it connected via the MCP and everything too.

Blender is basically a PAID Anthropic app now. Being a productive 3D artist will require a Claude subscription

@DopeOblivion Thats literally not even food, cant fool me.

Cooking something

On god (Claude).

@bengold I have yet to get Claude to make any sort of object in Blender

Claude being able to control Blender and Fusion would be a game changer noobs like me who occasionally have to mess around in them

@johndsaunders I definitely wouldn't expect a client to articulate the design they want to an LLM and get unique results. But, I can. Thats the difference. At the end of the day, I am designing what I build. The LLM I choose to use is just writing the code faster.

I've had a QUITE few conversations with prospects lately and there's a BIG consensus regarding AI: A LOT of clients want bespoke work. They tried to 'vibe code' sites and while they were able to, many of them just lacked style and individuality they needed. One prospect literally said "I did it and it looks the same as every other site out there. I need to create something that stands OUT." Dive into your skill set, y'all. AI is a tool, not the conduit.

@ajv I’ve built and scaled a successful sports media company and I have worked with, used in our workflow and studied AI for about 3 years now. I’ll gladly join the team. Let’s talk more soon.

We’re hiring an apprentice at VaynerSports. Needs to be someone who is comfortable playing around in things like claude, zapier etc. You don't need to be a developer. Think: sports data + automation + internal systems. You’ll join a small nimble team and actually ship solutions. Not decks. Not ideas. Real tools we will actually use. This is something I'm staying close to, so if you fit this description, we'll get to work together 🤝 DM me

Funny thing here, 3 years ago I spent a few days learning blender. Ultimately, I realized it wouldnt further my agency and it was too time consuming and there would eventually be a way to automate this so I decided to not go any further. 3 years later.....

GAWD IM ROCK HARD

Anything is now on IG! to celebrate, we're dropping credits to everyone who follows the account 🫂 follow @ hi.anything 💥 screenshot follow 💳 get 20k credits reply with screenshot to claim

@charlieissland Damn... they really did....

Freepik rebranded to Magnific, but honestly, they missed a massive opportunity: Magnifik.

@charlieissland Im so confused by this whole post, but also, very bold. lol

Enough is enough. This is going to be a rant because it's unbearable how this “studio” treats clients and the work they deliver. I’m not going to name them, but gosh, how much I would love to—the founder is already in my DMs. We service this particular client each month. Their current brand and visual direction were fine, with personality and some nice touches. Today I got invited into a new Figma file, where this new “studio” is working solely on the brand and website because we had no capacity. I’m furious. It’s almost the tenth time I’ve seen this studio’s work—logos, web designs, and such—handled by juniors with zero direction and zero quality. These guys profit off their name, but the work is trash. They cash in every time and pass the work to juniors for “30 USD per hour.” I know this for certain because one of those designers is in my DMs spilling the tea. I’m angry not because they have clients, but because they use them as a cash grab, constantly deliver shit work, and I see so many talented people who would do an amazing job single-handedly. End of rant, but please world, let’s get rid of these scammers for good, because a good name built on a few good projects for well-known clients doesn’t mean anything. And if you are reading this, and I know you will, I was watching your stupid ass junior designer using “phone icon” as an “i” in the logotype for 15 minutes, trying to figure out why it doesn’t fit there.
