Async
Tool and account setup (do this next)
There is no live-build setup required before the first session. Most of this takes about fifteen minutes. Session 1 is Lovable and nothing else.
Critical
You need exactly one tool before Session 1
A Lovable account at lovable.dev. The free tier gives you enough prompts to follow along in session. Sign up, log in, and confirm you can see the dashboard.
What you do not need yet
- A separate Supabase, database, or auth setup - Lovable provisions data and auth inside the build.
- OpenAI, GitHub, Cursor, or Claude Code - those come in Week 2 and later when we introduce evaluation and agent tooling.
- Any code editor or terminal fluency - Week 1 is direct-the-build in Lovable.
