What Lovable does
Lovable generates a working app, including the screens, backend, database and user logins, from a plain-English description, and the code stays editable. Each project has its own chat, preview and version history, and code can sync to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. Every publish runs a basic security scan before the app goes live.
