I’m middle aged, non techie. I believed a ai website builder like lovable would have the knowledge & expertise of a billion web developers.
It would know all the issues, security stuff, browser stuff, safety, database stuff & literally with a few prompts like everyone says would build a perfect site that was safe, secure & worked brilliantly for 1 person & a million people.
I was totally wrong. It’s like a child whose learning. Yes it will build you a site. But it will be full of bugs, issues, browser problems, database & security problems.
I’ve built 3 sites. All simple. All have zero api integration bar email. No payments, tried Google OAuth for access. Forget it. Never works.
Site 1. The database was temp. I lost all my first 30 subscribers. I didn’t know.
Site2. A simple email out a daily word. Seems to be ok.
Site 3. A total fuckin disaster. Full of bugs, patches, it never fixes anything, fix 1 thing something else breaks. I cough in the front room. It falls apart. Can’t access, too slow, hangs, logs me out. It’s never ending falling apart.
Each time you try and fix. That’s tokens. And they go down real fast. Remember. I’m non techie. I need to rely on ChatGPT & lovable to fix it. I spend hrs n hrs going round in circles. Tokens going down.
I’ll take responsibility for things I’ve done wrong. But my point. If you think 1 prompt and you’ll get a great site fully working, robust & works on all browsers, desktop & mobile. Thing again.
Maybe. It only works on super basic sites. Mine is. But it’s truly awful. I’ve zero confidence in Lovable. I’m currently doing a total rebuild, remove all patches & start again. If this doesn’t work. I’ll abandon ship & delete my acc.
Thankfully this is not my business. But if it was. I’d be pulling my hair out if I had any. Maybe. Ai web builders ain’t as clever as we think they are. That’s the lesson.
