Building an API for your Lovable app

Lovable is apparently Europe's fastest growing company. They went from zero to billions in months, and might become the first European company worth a trillion dollars. Today they launched their own "Lovable Cloud" which allows for creating backends and APIs to connect to your frontend.

In the following video I am demonstrating how you can combine Magic Cloud with Lovable to create a simple TODO app.

The big difference? With Magic you can host where ever you wish, so no lock-in towards Lovable's cloud services.

In the above video, I basically "one prompt" Magic, and it creates my backend. Then I copy and paste its OpenAPI JSON specification file into Lovable, and it creates everything for me.

Two small bugs, one in Magic and one in Lovable, and the thing is basically finished. A 100% perfectly working TODO app. Checkout a screenshot further up ...
