Aguere Films: bookings that confirm themselves
Aguere Films is a solo videographer in La Laguna, Tenerife, who used to answer DMs at midnight. Now clients check dates, pay a deposit and get booked without her sending a single message.
The client: Mihaela films most weekends and edits during the week. Couples ask to hold a Saturday, then disappear. The airport next door rules out drones in parts of town, and calima can cancel an outdoor shoot overnight. Booking one shoot used to take around 10 messages.
What I built: both sides of the brief.
• The front door: clients pick a shoot, see real availability, get travel fees and drone rules for their location, and pay a deposit through a full Stripe integration. Booked, no back-and-forth.
• The follow-through: unpaid holds expire on their own, reminders go out in one tap, and a weather check offers new dates when wind or calima is forecast. Mihaela's dashboard only shows what actually needs her.
From ~10 messages per booking to none.

I already submitted my Lovable challenge but I decided to update the landing page and make it look a little bit better by introducing more images to make the page a little bit more interactive especially on the services section, which one do you like: the old one or the new one?

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?
Day 3 of working on my project for the Lovable Challenge.
And somehow, almost one full day of those three went into the intro you see when the page first opens.
Not because it was necessary — mostly because I’ve wanted to try something like this for a long time.
Web design and development are far from my main field, so I kept putting this idea off. This challenge finally gave me a reason to test it properly — and seeing it actually work is ridiculously satisfying.
The video was converted into an image sequence and tied directly to scrolling on desktop and swiping on mobile, so the animation is controlled by the user as they move through the page.
Right now the project is already at Build 4.2.3.
The backend is working properly, the main mechanics are in place, but visually… there’s still a lot to redo. The current plan is to rebuild almost the entire visual layer before the final version.
I also found out today that Lovable reduced the number of prize spots quite significantly — apparently, there will only be 3 finalists.
That definitely makes the odds a little more painful 😅
But either way, I’m already getting a new portfolio case out of this project, and I’m finally experimenting with things I’ve wanted to build for a long time.
How’s everyone else doing?
Still working on your project, or have you already submitted it?
Or did you decide not to participate at all? If so, I’m curious — what made you skip it?
