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

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

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
echelon
It gets you some quick attention.
The people that need to notice will follow.

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.

As long as it’s not misleading: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/content-removal-polic...
I am reminded of OpenNext (https://opennext.js.org/) even though Vercel has a Next.js trademark.

compliance with a github policy isn't really the issue lol

Im waiting for open-open-ai
merelysounds
With “open” being such a common word, I wonder if that one might actually get a pass. And if not, then maybe open-squared-ai.

Everyone's waiting for open-open-ai.

It seems like trademark infringement.

Can’t find a Loveable trademark for the app AI

Well, for starters, it's not spelled with that first e.

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.

Great initiative! I'd love to see this project build a community around it. Quick question, what do you need Firecrawl for?

I didn't know about https://e2b.dev/ but I was looking for something exactly like that. Does anyone know about any self hostable alternatives?

It appears that e2b runs Firecracker microVMs (https://e2b.dev/blog/how-manus-uses-e2b-to-provide-agents-wi...)
It shouldn't be too hard to get a Firecracker orchestrator running locally - the articles here were very helpful when I was doing this myself: https://jvns.ca/blog/2021/01/23/firecracker--start-a-vm-in-l...

you can host e2b: https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/blob/main/self-host.md
we host it for https://www.definite.app/. You'd need pretty heavy usage to beat e2b's pricing.

You should look at [Modal](https://modal.com/), not affiliated.
thundergolfer
Lovable runs on Modal Sandboxes.

You can check out https://daytonaio-ai.framer.website/, it’s also could be self-hosted

Played with https://www.freestyle.sh this weekend, really solid

Why would I do this? It would be better to have an app that turns a react app into a native web app. Speculation rules and page transitions make it possible already.

Can I run the whole chain FOSS? Firecrawl, this (maybe the LLM can be local too?)
pointlessone
Now… any chances we could get a thing that takes in a React app and spits out a normal website with minimal or no JS?
urbandw311er
Yes, it’s called `tsc` ;-)
kvdveer
How would you know it works if you can't add an imperial megaton of tracking scripts? /s

There's also bolt.diy which uses browserbased webcontainer to build apps.
wahnfrieden
That’s not open though right. Webcontainer is closed

Is this a desktop app wrapper for lovable?
kroaton
It needs a Docker-Compose.

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.
