I'm thoroughly frustrated by the prevalence of accounts on Contra that use AI to reply to posts. And I don't get it. The entire point of this community is to share what you're working on and engage authentically with other creators and designers. So I'm genuinely confused as to what folks think the benefit is there? All I get from it is the sense that you either can't or aren't willing to think for yourself. So what're you doing on a platform that's built for /creatives/?

Here's my submission for the Contra x Lovable challenge. It's more of a story than a design showcase.

I'd never used Lovable before this. I spent 3 days inside it, and it was an amazing first experience.

How I built it: I planned everything with Claude, created the images with GPT, and then built and structured the whole app in Lovable.

The problem: In Bangladesh, India, and across South Asia, brides book a mehedi artist to come home and apply henna before the wedding. I created an imaginary artist, Tisha. While she works, her hands are covered in mehedi for hours. She can't pick up a call or reply to a text, so she badly needs a booking system that works without her.

See it in action: https://mehedibytisha.lovable.app/

What it does:

Customers pick their service, number of guests, and design style from multiple options, then choose an open time.

Customers get a booking confirmation by email, and Tisha gets an email for every new booking.

A backend keeps every customer and every booking in one place.

Tisha sets her schedule once, and customers can book her any time based on it.

Thank you, Lovable and Contra, for organizing this.

My first @Contra product sale, and the client came directly from Contra.

Contra Products has been one of the best updates so far. It allows freelancers to keep most of their earnings, unlike tools like Polar or Lemon Squeezy, which have much higher fees and can make it more difficult for sellers to cash out.
