I built GlowHaus Concierge for a fictional solo beauty studio in Lekki, Lagos.

The problem: a simple “Can I book with you?” can turn into 10+ messages, checking availability, collecting details, chasing deposits, confirming appointments, and handling reschedules.

So I built a system that turns:

“Can I book with you?” - “You’re booked.”

Customers can: Choose a service Pick an available time Enter their details Pay a deposit Get confirmed Reschedule themselves

And the owner gets a dashboard for bookings, deposits, follow-ups, and automations.

Built with @Lovable for the #lovablechallenge.

how long did the deposit flow take to get right?

Just a few minutes during testing. The booking is only confirmed once the deposit goes through successfully. I’m also testing the failed/late payment scenarios to make the flow solid.

Built Gloss Instant Booking for the #lovablechallenge.

I created a booking experience for a fictional solo automobile detailing business in Austin where the owner was losing time to back-and-forth booking messages.

Instead of:

Inquiry → questions → calendar checking → confirmation → reminder

Gloss turns it into:

Inquiry → availability → confirmed booking → automated follow-up.

Built with @Lovable.

Really like how clearly you've framed the before vs. after workflow here. For a mobile detailing business, did you also account for travel time/location when determining availability? Feels like that's where scheduling gets especially interesting once bookings start stacking up.
