  • This week I came across a load-bearing Lovable app in the wild.
    • It was a search and contract component for a small nanny placement service.
    • It's an example of the power of custom long-tail software in a domain that previously would not have justified custom software.
    • The experience was significantly better than one would have been without it.
    • However, it's prudent, when you see a Lovable link for a load-bearing thing that requires sensitive information, to assume that it's naively or maliciously implemented and you shouldn't trust it with your data.
    • At least flows cobbled together out of things like Google Forms don't have to build their own security posture.
