This project is very meaningful to me because this is the first project that I'm building for a competition.
Marlowe and Ash is a project which allows single owners to convert "Can I book?" into "You are booked." This project also helps clients to reduce the friction so they can book their favorite salon within minutes. Not only that but Marlowe and Ash was created using Lovable with a little bit of imagination. I would like you to take a peek at this project and let me know your thoughts in the comments
Business Name is Marlowe & Ash Colour Studio (Sarasota, FL)
I turned a solo colourist's DM-and-voicemail booking chaos into a self-serve flow where clients book and pay a deposit in under a minute, while automations handle reminders, rebooking nudges, and waitlist backfill so the owner spends her time on hair, not admin.
Very nice
Thank you

Can a designer push Lovable as hard as any design tool?
Yes, and the method is simpler than you'd think. Three steps. I'll show each one on real slides from this challenge.
First, why I'm back. I sat out the last couple of challenges: I needed a real break, and other projects needed me more. I hadn't opened Lovable in a bit over a year. When this one landed, I thought: let's see if a designer can take it to the limit, the way I do with every other tool. So far, it's holding.
The client is Endorphin, a run club in Turin. Every Thursday, 19:00, under the Arco del Valentino, free, any pace. Here's the method.
1. Design every state before you prompt. Default, hover, spots left, full, waitlist, booked, past. Look at the third slide: each chip is a different state of the same event, "You're in", "23 left", "31 going". If a state isn't designed, Lovable guesses it. So I never leave it a guess.
2. Write the prompt like a spec. Real sizes, real colors, real timings. Mine says things like: the slide takes 480ms, easing cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.8, 0.2, 1), no bounce. Then I attach the Figma export of that exact state and write "match this pixel for pixel". That's how the calendar on the last slide got its hover: the cell lifts, a preview card shows cover, time, place and spots left, and Book sits right there.
3. One prompt at a time. I send a piece, compare it with my board, and only then send the next. The phone view on slide two came out that way: a booking sheet with two fields and one line, "No account. No password. Just show up." Above it, a molecule where every dot is a moment from a Thursday.
The first slide shows the result of all three: the whole night as single cards. Price, distance, time, meeting point, crowd. One idea each.
The tool is only as sharp as the brief you give it.
If you've built with an AI tool: where did you hit the wall first, design or logic?
great designs, all made in lovable right?
Scared of the dentist? Meet Mola. Book your gentlest appointment in Bandung in under 60 seconds — no phone calls, no confusing forms.
Just tell Mola what's bothering you, and it guides you through choosing the right appointment, finding a doctor and time, entering your details, and getting booked.
The fun part? Mola also has a cute little mascot that acts like an AI agent, helping you through the booking process. And yes, I built the mascot and its animations in Lovable too.
I also designed the experience around real patient needs: progressive questions, easy editing, upfront pricing, emergency detection, WhatsApp-friendly details, reminders, and a clinic schedule on the other side.
💬 Tell Mola what’s going on in your own words, whether it’s a stubborn toothache, routine cleaning, or a quick check-up.
⏱️ Confirmed chair in under 60 seconds, pick your favorite dentist (Dr. Nadia, Dr. Raka, or Dr. Maya) and a time that fits your day.
🏷️ 100% transparent pricing upfront, know your estimated fee before you step foot in the clinic. No surprise bills.
📲 Hassle-free reminders sent straight to your WhatsApp, plus instant calendar and PDF passes.
Gentle, calm, and stress-free care starts before you even sit in the chair.
The combination of product design, character design, and animation here is 🔥. Mola feels like an actual little brand, not just a challenge submission.
it's one chair. one owner. no front desk, no assistant, nobody picking up the phone.
that's exactly why the booking site had to do more work than most salons' ever will. built for #lovablechallenge, submitted via @contra — would appreciate a like:
Good luck Rahul 🙌
