Lovable (formerly GPT Engineer) turns plain-English descriptions into deployable full-stack applications. Features visual drag-and-drop editing, Supabase database integration, GitHub sync, and one-click deployment to Vercel or Netlify. The fastest path from idea to working web app — no local dev environment required. Best suited for MVPs, prototypes, and client demos. Panel verdict: 2/3 Ship — impressive for rapid prototyping, but code quality degrades on complex apps.

React Native by Meta builds truly native mobile apps using React. New Architecture with Fabric and TurboModules brings better performance. The leading cross-platform framework.
Reviewer scorecard
“Best MVP builder on the market right now. The Supabase integration means you get a real database, not just a frontend. GitHub sync seals the deal.”
“New Architecture with Fabric renderer eliminates the old bridge bottleneck. Performance is now genuinely native-grade.”
“The demos are impressive but dig deeper and you'll find spaghetti code, missing error handling, and no tests. Fine for demos, dangerous for production.”
“The new architecture was worth the wait. React Native with Expo is the best cross-platform mobile development experience.”
“I built a client project prototype in under an hour. They were blown away. Even if I rewrite the code later, the speed-to-wow is worth the subscription alone.”
“React Native's new architecture and Expo's tooling make it the clear winner for cross-platform mobile development.”
