Hey, my first app made with ❤️Lovable just went live!

Meet Hacker Choice - 𝕏 users most followed by indie hackers.

I've built it with Lovable as an experiment. Got main page working in just 5 minutes! Animations are nice out of the box, and loading is reasonably fast.

Connected it to Supabase. Supabase integration looks pretty good. It suggests a database design and you can approve it in one click. You get both the storage and database.

I could single-shot some rather complex stuff, like infinite scroll + server-side filtering.

I like the UI that Lovable produces much better than what I used to get from v0 or Bolt. I also like how it fixes errors with a single click!

Got some issues with built-in components and had to jump in myself with Cursor. But it's super-easy, because everything is synced via Github.

And it also helped me create scripts to migrate and upload all the data. Cool!

Overall took me ~130 edits from zero to launch.

Here are a few tips on building with Lovable:

• Design the database first, it's hard to change later

• Take it step by step: create a new component, then wire up with others

• Prompt for tools like data-upload scripts

• Prompt to refactor components as they grow large

• Sign of your components are too large: unrelated code is dropped during changes

• Always review changes! If issues arise, prompt for fixes

• If it doesn't work in 2-3 prompts, it may be easier to fix it yourself

Now launching it here on Product Hunt, give it some love! - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/hacker-choice
