After 100+ builds, mistakes, resets, and wins, here’s the ultimate list to help you build better products:
1/ Use buzzwords.
They are a game changer and elevate your designs instantly. I wrote a full list of the best ones.
Some examples:
“Minimalist, glassmorphic, floating elements”
“Playful, bold, bright colors, rounded corners”
“Luxury, editorial, tactile, cinematic”

2/ If your first prompt isn’t great, restart instantly
Don’t waste time fixing a broken foundation.
If the first version feels off, scrap it. Rewrite your idea, reframe your prompt, and run it again.
Most of my best results came on round two.
3/ Lovable loves images. Use them to make quick fixes.
Make a screenshot of a bug, highlight the issue, and drop a one-liner:
“This spacing feels off, please make it tighter and cleaner.”
Lovable understands visuals better than pure text.
4/ Use this layout upgrade prompt:
“Keep content the same, but improve spacing, visual hierarchy, and make it feel premium.”
Fixes 80% of design issues in one sentence.
5/ Iterate like a designer
The revert function is your best friend. Try bold variations. Don’t fix broken foundations, instead quickly revert and rebuild them.
6/ Use real component libraries
When things look generic, don’t force it. Drop in better building blocks from:
Copy prompt and paste it into your Lovable project.
7/ Add subtle motion to feel high-end
Prompt: “Smooth hover transitions, fade-in on scroll, soft entrance animations”
Or: “Animate this logo on hover.”
Motion = perceived quality.
8/ Edit visually to save time
You don’t have to prompt everything. My biggest hack has been selecting a specific element using visual edit, and then prompting it directly.
9/ Make it mobile in one line
Prompt: “Make this page responsive and optimized for mobile.”
Lovable gets 80% there — just preview both versions before shipping.
10/ Final launch checklist
Before you ship, don’t forget:
Add title + description (SEO)
Upload a favicon + OG/social image
Connect your domain
Then hit publish.
