Wait is this a Lovable clone that is actually called open-lovable? That seems bold

It feels like a common thing in the AI space (moreso than other OSS spaces). People don’t get how trademarks work and that you can’t just name your project after something that’s already popular. I think some people think it’s a clever growth hack.

Why does this reference Lovable at all ? The tagline for this project is "Clone and recreate any website as a modern React app in seconds" and requires a FIRECRAWL_API_KEY in order to perform the necessary scraping. Lovable is more of a self-contained LLM chat which creates a new react site with optional supabase integration.

Firecrawl is a highly dubious company. Their job ads for bot "agents" seemed like a try to get free labour.

Reminds of me of tools like https://huu.la, the main difference is newer generations focuses on utilizing LLM to map design to code, versus the older generations focus on using WYSWYG tooling to edit the page directly.

Having started OpenDevin (now OpenHands [1]) I can say it's definitely worth renaming. It's very limiting attaching your branding to someone else's [1] https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands

It gets you some quick attention.

The people that need to notice will follow.

Can’t find a Loveable trademark for the app AI

Well, for starters, it's not spelled with that first e. https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=99194755&caseSearchType=U...

also trademark registration is not remotely relevant here

What do you mean? It's literally the legal mechanism by which Lovable Labs Incorporated can prevent this guy from calling his thing open-lovable.

Registering your trademark makes enforcement easier, but there's a reason both TM and R exist - unregistered trademarks still hold power.

Sure. But for a company with a lot of money at stake, filing a trademark application isn't a huge bar and makes winning the legal case a lot easier.
