Supabase gives your Lovable app a real database, user login, and file storage. Connecting the two is genuinely simple, and here's the shape of the process plus the handful of places people actually get stuck.
Your build succeeded. Your app still shows NOT_FOUND. Here is the actual cause, and the one change that prevents it from ever happening.
Your code already lives on GitHub. Here is how to turn it into a real website anyone can visit.
Your app already has a free Vercel address. Here is how to point your own domain at it instead.
Lovable can save your project to GitHub automatically, but the connection lives in your account settings, not inside a single project. Here is exactly where to find it and what each screen actually asks you to click.
Building a portfolio site with Lovable is three real stages: describe your work, shape what it generates, then publish it. Here is what actually happens on screen at each one.
A Lovable app runs on Supabase underneath, so real authentication means calling Supabase's Auth methods. Here is the actual shape of that flow, plus the one setting people forget right after.
Lovable builds exactly what your prompt describes, so a ride request app comes down to naming the two sides of the marketplace and what happens between them. Here is the actual shape of that prompt.
Lovable builds exactly what your prompt describes, so a grocery delivery app comes down to naming who is browsing, who is shopping, and what happens between an order and a delivery. Here is the actual shape of that prompt.
Lovable builds exactly what your prompt describes, so an online store comes down to naming who is browsing, what they are buying, and how an order gets tracked. Here is the actual shape of that prompt.
Lovable builds exactly what your prompt describes, so an event app comes down to naming who is signing up to attend and who is running the event. Here is the actual shape of that prompt.
Lovable builds exactly what your prompt describes, so an educational app comes down to naming who is taking a lesson and who is creating one. Here is the actual shape of that prompt.
Lovable builds exactly what your prompt describes, so a social network comes down to naming three things: profiles, connections between people, and a feed. Here is the actual shape of that prompt.
A product landing page lives or dies on one thing: whether a visitor understands what the product does and why it matters in the first few seconds. Here is how that comes together in Lovable.
A saas landing page has to answer what the software does and what it costs, fast. Here is how naming that in one prompt turns into a published page in Lovable.
An app landing page has one job most other pages do not: sending visitors to an app store. Here is how that comes together in Lovable.
A webinar landing page has a deadline built into it, a date and time people need to register for. Here is how that comes together in Lovable.
A real estate landing page has to sell one property or one agent, fast, with a way for a visitor to ask about it. Here is how that comes together in Lovable.
An ebook landing page has one job, trade a short preview of the book for a visitor email address. Here is how that comes together in Lovable.
Lovable makes it possible to go from an idea to a working app fast, but the moment you need a real database, real user accounts, or a live production URL, you are stepping outside of what the builder does automatically. These guides cover exactly those handoff points: connecting Supabase, deploying to Vercel, and fixing what breaks along the way.
Lovable is excellent at generating the interface and application logic, but a real backend, meaning your database and authentication, is a separate connection you set up once and then rely on.
A Lovable preview and a deployed, public app are two different things. These guides cover the deploy step, plus the specific errors people hit right after going live.
No, but understanding a few backend and deployment basics, covered in these guides, will help you avoid the most common points where non-technical builders get stuck.
This is usually a missing environment variable or a database connection that was configured for preview but not carried over to production. See the deployment and Supabase guides for the exact fix.
