This update is all about making your life easier if you pay for Lovable. It gives you better tools to keep your app designs consistent, simplifies the process of putting your app on the internet, and lets Lovable securely test real data from your connected accounts while it writes code for you.
What's new
- Design systems for all paid plans: A "design system" is a saved set of rules, colors, and building blocks for your app. Now, anyone on a paid plan can create one and attach it to a project. This means every new page or feature you build will automatically match your style. (Note: turning an outside code package into a design system is still only for big Enterprise plans).
- Lovable can test your connected accounts: If your app connects to an outside service (like a database or another app), you can now let Lovable log into your own account to test it while it builds. Just ask Lovable in chat to check the service, click "Connect," and sign in. Lovable can then look at real data structures and run test searches instead of guessing how the service works. It is totally private to you, locked to that specific project, and Lovable will always ask permission before doing anything that could change your data. You can cut off access anytime by asking in chat.
- Per-user access for Amazon Redshift: Amazon Redshift is a large data storage service. If you use it, people who log into your finished app can now search the database using their own personal permissions. They sign in through your organization's login system (like Okta or Auth0), so they only see the data they are allowed to see.
Improvements
- A simpler Publish screen: Publishing your app is now a one-stop process. You just hit "Publish" to see your web address, privacy settings, and security scan all in one place, then hit "Publish" again to go live. Lovable also automatically writes your site's title, description, and icon for you while it builds. If you want to change how the site looks in browser tabs or Google searches, just ask Lovable in chat.
- Faster preview loading: When you are building an app, the live preview window now pops up the exact second the app is ready. It used to wait around for a scheduled check, so this is especially noticeable when you open a project you haven't touched in a while.
