Preview of CobaltLabs

Description

CobaltLabs is a small, brutalist thing that does exactly one job. It was built in a few sittings and has not needed much since.

  • One dependency, and it is the framework
  • Fully typed end to end
  • Deploys on push, no build config

Lovable did most of the lifting. I wrote the schema by hand and let the generated components follow it rather than the other way round.

Next up: better empty states, and a proper import path for people arriving with existing data.

Workflow

  1. Generated the first pass in Lovable

    Kept the prompts in the repo next to what they produced, so a regeneration six months later starts from the same place.
