    Hey, everyone, it's Christian. 0:09
    I'm here to introduce another tool to help in your development. 0:11
    So even if you have no coding experience. 0:14
    There's no problem. 0:16
    I'm here to introduce Lovable.dev. 0:18
    This is another AI powered platform that lets you turn your ideas 0:21
    into web applications with just plain English. 0:25
    Whether you're an entrepreneur, our creative collaborator, Lovable.dev 0:28
    really does bring your digital dreams to life with just a simple prompt. 0:32
    You may be asking what is Lovable? 0:37
    You can think of lovable as a AI full stack engineer, which basically converts 0:40
    all your natural language descriptions into a working application instantly, 0:45
    such as build me an app that records my journal entries. 0:49
    It will build a full featured app that does just that. 0:53
    It features a chat based interface where you can describe 0:56
    what you want to build and see immediate visual previews of your changes. 0:59
    The core features of lovable is that it will generate text 1:03
    to web app with responsive designs. 1:07
    It also has a direct Supabase integration, 1:09
    which is their preferred database and authentication service. 1:12
    It even has GitHub synchronization for version control. 1:17
    You can select and edit functionalities for precise modifications. 1:21
    So those are its core capabilities. 1:25
    Now how does the development process look like? 1:27
    Step one. 1:29
    I will start with a natural language description. 1:30
    As I mentioned before, once you type that in you'll go directly to step two, 1:32
    which is watching a real time preview generation of Lovable 1:36
    building your full stack app. 1:40
    And then three. 1:42
    Once it's done generating that preview, you can refine through the chat interface, 1:42
    and then that moves on to step four your deployment. 1:47
    Once you're happy with what you have available, 1:49
    deploy it with one click and that's it. 1:52
    That's the deployment process using lovable. 1:55
    Now some of the best practices that we want to make sure that, you know, 1:57
    for setting up lovable is always begin with authentication configuration. 2:01
    If you have a custom knowledge base put that in to the lovable 2:06
    files that will tell lovable to follow these guidelines. 2:09
    Start with broad prompts and then refine incrementally. 2:12
    You don't want to be too specific or too broad. 2:17
    You want just the perfect balance of being broad enough 2:19
    so that you can refine as Lovable learns what you're actually asking it to do. 2:22
    Some other tips is using the select tool for precise component 2:27
    editing, leveraging Supabase for back end features. 2:30
    Remember, Supabase is your data base for storing all your data. 2:33
    Now that we're kind of giving you project tips 2:37
    and development tips, what are some practical applications that you can use 2:40
    Lovable to develop? Here are some ideas. 2:44
    Building landing pages, building MVP's, and building full stack applications. 2:46
    If you don't know what any of these means, don't worry. 2:52
    Our future content will describe these for you, Now 2:55
    remember, Lovable is a AI featured tool. 2:59
    It is here to make coding accessible first for folks that do not know how to code. 3:03
    With over 140,000 users already building applications, it's proven to be 3:07
    20 times faster than traditional methods for developing applications. 3:13
    So now's the time 3:18
    to join this revolution of programmers and developers. 3:19
    Start your journey at Lovable.dev and join their active discord community with. 3:23
    This gives you the opportunity to connect with other builders, share props, 3:28
    share what you're generated, and also maybe recruit a fellow builder 3:32
    to join you on your journey of becoming a app developer. 3:36
    Whether you're creating a simple landing page or complex full stack applications, 3:40
    Lovable Dev is ready to turn your idea into a workable MVP. 3:44
