▒ v-1 to Lovable
Use v-1.design prompts in Lovable.
Start Lovable with a finished v-1.design visual direction so the generated app has a real design system before the backend work begins.
▒ best fit
Non-technical founders and fast MVP teams who want Lovable to build the app, but do not want the default AI-builder look.
▒ workflow
How to hand off a v-1 design to Lovable
- 01Pick a Library design that matches the product category.
- 02Open the live demo and keep it visible as the visual target.
- 03Paste the full v-1 build prompt into Lovable as the first instruction.
- 04Ask Lovable to implement the design system before it builds screens or data flows.
- 05Review the result against the live demo, then iterate screen by screen instead of restyling the whole app.
▒ prompt tip
Tell Lovable not to replace the design with default shadcn, Tailwind presets, purple gradients, or generic SaaS cards. The v-1 prompt already contains the values it should preserve.
▒ v-1 handoff includes
- Full build prompt
- Design-system values
- Per-screen prompts
- Assets and image directions
- Live demo for visual QA
▒ questions
- Is v-1 a Lovable alternative?
- For app building, no. Lovable builds the app. v-1 gives Lovable a stronger design direction and exact prompt before the build starts.
- Why use v-1 before Lovable?
- Most builder output drifts toward the same defaults. v-1 locks the visual system first so Lovable has clearer constraints.
