The Production Wall: Why MVP Tools Fail to Scale
A working MVP in under 10 minutes is real
Three weeks ago I watched a designer ship a working SaaS dashboard inside Lovable. She opened the editor, typed "two-column settings page with billing toggle and team avatars," and thirty seconds later the page existed, styled, responsive, with a fake Stripe panel wired to a mock endpoint.

It was genuinely impressive — and it would have been a week of design-deck ping-pong two years ago.
