Lovable Beginners Tutorial
A 1-hour hands-on tutorial at Vibe Code Fest Basel 2026 to get you started with Lovable — the platform that turns natural language into working code. Build your first app before the hackathon begins.
How the tutorial works
Intro session (30 min)
A guided walkthrough of Lovable: how to prompt, iterate, and go from an idea to a working app. Perfect if you've never touched AI-assisted coding before.
Hands-on building (30 min)
Start building your own project right away. Our mentors move around the room and help you 1:1 whenever you get stuck.
Ready for the hackathon
After the tutorial you'll know the tools, have a running first app, and are fully warmed up for the Vibe Code Fest hackathon that follows.
What you can build with vibe coding
With Lovable, anyone can build real, working apps in natural language. A few examples of what you could create:
Internal team dashboard
See projects, tasks, and numbers in one place — instead of five spreadsheets and a group chat.
Customer onboarding portal
Give new customers a guided self-service space with checklists, documents, and status updates.
Invoice & expense automation
Upload a receipt, have it categorised and totalled for you — no more manual bookkeeping.
Habit tracker with streaks
Keep yourself accountable with daily streaks, reminders, and a progress chart you actually enjoy.
Personal budget planner
Track income and spending, set savings goals, and see where your money really goes.
Recipe & meal-sharing community
Share recipes with friends or your club, rate them, and plan the week's meals together.
CRM tools, booking systems, calculators, onboarding flows — if you can describe it, you can build it.
What you need
A laptop or computer
A Lovable account — you'll get 100 free Lovable credits at the tutorial
Curiosity and a rough idea — no programming experience required
No programming experience needed — just curiosity and ambition. Everything you build is entirely yours.
Warm up, then hack.
The tutorial is the perfect preparation for the Vibe Code Fest hackathon afterwards — bring your idea and leave with a working app.
