It integrates with multiple AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq) and uses E2B for sandboxed development environments and Firecrawl for web scraping. The setup requires API keys for these services and can be run locally with npm. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

I recommend changing the wording to "We match some colors and stuff". Anytime I see that claim, I know it's a lie and makes me immediately not want to use the tool. **@namvu87** · 1 upvotes > This was at 2k star when this was posted last week. It is now at 14k stars and counting now. Crazy how much momentum a PoC can pick up with just a strategic name **@cyberjob001** · 0 upvotes > doesn't look like a ready to use tool yet. Their deployment shows failed and there is no release. **@girff** · 0 upvotes > This Open Lovable thing is kinda cool! If it actually works as advertised, it could be a game-changer for quickly building React apps. **@lalomorales** · 0 upvotes > nice work ! --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#react](https://daily.dev/tags/react), [#typescript](https://daily.dev/tags/typescript), [#crawling](https://daily.dev/tags/crawling) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/mendableai-open-lovable-clone-and-recreate-any-website-as-a-modern-react-app-in-seconds-dlbr6dblo) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"mendableai/open-lovable: 🔥 Clone and recreate any website as a modern React app in seconds","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/mendableai-open-lovable-clone-and-recreate-any-website-as-a-modern-react-app-in-seconds-dlbr6dblo","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/mendableai-open-lovable-clone-and-recreate-any-website-as-a-modern-react-app-in-seconds-dlbr6dblo"},"datePublished":"2025-08-10T16:28:53.764Z","dateModified":"2025-09-05T17:40:03.388Z","description":"Open Lovable is an open-source tool that uses AI to instantly generate React applications by cloning and recreating existing websites.
