I'm leaving Lovable at 18 years old
June 19, 2026

When I first joined Lovable in March, I was 17. At that time, the company had around 20 employees and was doing about $25M ARR.
During my time there I helped ship, among other things:
- The referral program
- Shopify integration
- Domain purchase flow, management, and transfer-outs
- Global caching system that makes every single deployed website load super fast
- Lovable profiles, eg lovable.dev/@robiot
- Student discount program
- Yap to app (voice to text mode)
- The new dashboard layout
- The publish dialog
And not to forget the little satisfying pling sound that plays when a generation finishes, which was the very first thing I ever shipped haha.
Beyond writing code, I also appeared in Lovable's most viral reel with 3M views and helped write some of Lovable's early viral Twitter posts.
By the time I left, Lovable had grown to over $500M ARR.
I've loved spending the past year building alongside some of the most talented people in Europe. I'll miss all of you.
It's time for a new adventure to maximize my learning and make a hell of an impact on the world. I've still got a couple of years left until I turn 100.
