Inspired By Frustration
Your Lovable app, rebuilt as production Next.js.
Migrate from Lovable.dev to a self-hosted Next.js codebase you fully own. We extract the prototype, fix the architecture, wire backends, and ship without vendor lock-in.
Lovable is unbeatable for prototyping. The production move is treating the Lovable repo as a package: Vite + React + Tailwind output, immutable v* tags, SSR-safe contract exports, and a Next.js production app that owns auth, data, APIs, deploys, and callbacks. Inspired By Frustration migrates Lovable apps to clean Next.js codebases — same product, your infrastructure, your team's velocity.
What we deliver
Full export + clean rebuild
Export the Lovable repo, refactor into idiomatic Next.js 16 App Router, drop the vendor-lock surface (Lovable editor hooks, sync metadata), and hand you a codebase your team can own.
Backend & data continuity
Migrate Supabase rows, env vars, auth flows, and any third-party integrations. Zero downtime — old Lovable URL keeps working until cutover.
Submodules + monorepo from day one
Lovable can't do either. We restructure the rebuilt app into a workspace (Turborepo/bun) so you can share components and libraries across products.
Self-hosted, multi-environment deploys
Vercel, Fly.io, or your own infrastructure. Preview/staging/prod environments wired into CI from the first commit.
Why us
Top 0.5% Lovable Builder
We know exactly which Lovable patterns transfer cleanly and which need a rewrite.
Production Next.js bench
10+ years shipping Next.js apps to multi-region production — Vercel, Fly, AWS.
MCP-native handoff
AppHandoff MCP captures the migration as agent-readable context so your team's Claude/Cursor session inherits full architectural memory on day one.

Get in touchFAQ
Can Lovable generate Next.js?
Lovable generates a React + Vite codebase, not Next.js. The output uses React Router, not Next.js App Router or Pages Router. To get a true Next.js app from a Lovable project you migrate manually (or hire a team to do it) — refactoring routes into the App Router, swapping client-side data fetching for Server Components, and replacing Lovable's editor hooks with idiomatic Next.js patterns.
Does Lovable support git submodules?
No. Lovable's GitHub integration is one project to one repo with single-branch bidirectional sync. There is no documented submodule or monorepo support. Teams that need to share code across products typically migrate to a Next.js + Turborepo or bun workspaces setup.
Can Lovable AI do backend?
Lovable can scaffold Supabase tables, edge functions, and basic auth — that's its 'backend.' For anything beyond CRUD plus a few edge functions (custom auth flows, background jobs, third-party integrations, multi-tenant scoping, MCP servers), you need to extend with your own code. That's typically the trigger for migrating off Lovable.
How long does a Lovable → Next.js migration take?
A focused single-product app is typically 4–6 weeks: 1 week audit and plan, 2–3 weeks rebuild, 1 week env cutover and QA, optional 1 week handoff training. Larger apps with multiple environments or compliance scope run 8–12 weeks.
Will my Lovable URL keep working during the migration?
Yes. We run the new Next.js app on a staging URL until full parity is verified, then DNS cutover with a 301 from the Lovable URL. Zero user-visible downtime.
Can I self-host my Lovable app?
Not directly — Lovable runs in their hosted editor. To self-host the product you ship from Lovable, you export the GitHub repo and deploy that React + Vite codebase yourself (Vercel, Netlify, Fly.io, your own server). For real ops control plus multi-environment + monorepo support, most teams migrate the export to Next.js first.
What does a migration cost?
Fixed-price migrations start at $8,000 for a single-product MVP-grade Lovable app. Production apps with multiple Supabase tables, custom auth, third-party integrations, or compliance constraints range $15,000–$45,000. Quote is fixed after the Week 1 audit.
