The data to come out on the amount of vibe coded and amateurs apps clogging up storage but not generating any business is going to severely tank one of the most crucial legs in this ai inflated economy. See these are the kinds of demos that impress naive executives and non-tech people.
For most of software history, even if you understood a problem better than anyone, you still needed someone else to help you build the solution.
That meant a lot of good ideas never became products.
Today weâre sharing our first look at the global build economy: more than 50M projects built on Lovable and 720M monthly visits to Lovable-built projects. Ideas are becoming products, and products are turning into companies.
The people building them are also different from what many would expect.
They may not have a CS degree, venture capital, or a technical co-founder, but they have customer knowledge, industry context, and a clear sense of what needs to exist.
It is still early, but the direction is clear: as this category matures, the impact will be greater than just more software. There will be more solutions, more companies, and more economic activity.
