My first time ever using Loveable and actually really loved the experience! Here is my submission: Bent Brim Co. - Booking a hat shaping takes a dozen DMs a day; this turns it into a confirmed appointment in 7 steps, with no account needed.
Sol runs a one-person hat bar on South Congress in Austin. Every booking used to start with "can you fix my hat?" and then turn into a long back-and-forth. What's wrong with it? Felt or straw? What size? What crease? Can it be done by Saturday? Then there's the deposit, the reminder, and the no-shows. Things get way to complicated especially starting off as a mom and pop shop. With Tecova's right next store, this place has to stand out and be able to meet the demand!
Before: inquiries came in through texts, DMs and phone calls, and Sol pieced each booking together by hand.
After: the customer picks a service, shapes the crown with a drag handle or picks one of five classic creases, sets the brim and any branding, picks a time, enters a name and mobile number, and pays a $15 deposit. A Claim Ticket fills in live the whole way through, so they can see exactly what they're booking.
The shop's own rules do the scheduling. Felt needs a full day to dry, so any time that can't be ready by the customer's deadline never shows up. The $25 rush fee only appears when drying time actually allows it. Each booking lands on Sol's bench with a ticket number and pickup code. The customer gets a confirmation text, a calendar invite, and the option to reschedule or cancel without calling.
It works end to end on mobile and desktop, and it's built entirely in Lovable.
