Case studies & teardowns
Five products founders shaped in Lovable and we engineered for production: Looph, Bell, Ripply, Inkwave and Zulu. Each case study leaves the decisions in: what was wrong with the prototype, what we changed, and the numbers it ended on, counted from each product's own repository.
What does taking a prototype to production actually look like?
It looks like a sequence of specific fixes: reshaping data, closing permission gaps, covering critical journeys with tests, rehearsing recovery, then releasing behind monitoring with someone accountable for the result.

Products founders shaped in Lovable and our engineers built for production.
Looph: customer feedback software
Public feedback boards, a roadmap and a changelog, shaped in Lovable. We rebuilt everything underneath, and it is live in production. Outcome: 10,387 automated tests passing in CI, up from 1,152 at handover.
Bell: AI email assistant
An AI email assistant for Gmail. Each email is sent exactly once with a two-minute undo, and AI spend has hard daily limits. Outcome: 47 database tables where the prototype had 143, in 27 working days to staging.
Ripply: viral waitlist platform
A launch builder and a private console. A queue that cannot collide, and rewards that go out exactly once. Outcome: zero duplicate rewards or queue collisions in a 25,000-entry stress test.
Inkwave: newsletter platform
Newsletters that are never sent twice, every publisher on their own domain, and analytics without cookies. Outcome: 2,978 automated tests, nine times as many as eight weeks earlier.
Zulu: meetings workspace
Workspaces walled off from each other, booking times that hold across daylight saving, and one transcript writer. Outcome: 67 of 70 tables scoped to a workspace and swept by a cross-tenant test.
AquaLog: aquarium logbook
Reminders that follow each keeper's own time zone, one model for money, and an app that stays readable offline. Outcome: row-level security on all 13 tables of its first schema, and 159 automated test files.

Apps built with Lovable that run in production
Real apps built with Lovable, with sources: which run in production, which are pre-launch, and what each one needed after Lovable to carry users and money.
Lovable prototype to production: a case study
How Looph went from a Lovable prototype to production in 28 working days: the baseline, the gates, row-level security on 172 tables, hosting and releases.
What is the real product?
The real product is the live version of the app you design in Lovable, engineered and run by Plutonapps. What it is, and why it was once called a Product Twin.
