Migrate from Lovable when you want a downloadable workspace
You shipped a web demo on Lovable but you want to host the app on your own infra, run it offline locally, or hand the code to a developer to extend. Here's how to recreate it on OOretz Factory with a downloadable Next.js + libSQL workspace and a real POST + GET smoke verification.
Before you start
- ·Your existing Lovable project (URL or downloaded code)
- ·An OOretz Factory account (Hobby tier is enough to start)
Steps
- 01~5 min
Export your Lovable project's structure
In Lovable, click "Code" → "Download as zip". Look at the README or src/index.* — you want the list of entities, workflows, and surfaces. Write them down in a single paragraph in your own words.
- 02~3 min
Open the OOretz operator and paste your description
Visit /admin/factory. In the interview chat, paste your description. The interview will extract entities + workflows. Keep the surface as web — this is the pipeline we verify end-to-end today.
- 03~5 min
Confirm the manifest matches your Lovable structure
On the Plan Review screen, compare the entities + workflows side by side with your Lovable export. Edit anything that drifted. The factory is more conservative about entity boundaries than Lovable.
- 04~7 min
Approve and wait for the smoke result
Web builds typically take 5-10 minutes including AI generation, npm install, next build, server launch, and the POST + GET smoke. You can leave the tab open or come back — the job is durable. The operator shows live cost + smoke result when complete.
💡 TipGenerated web workspaces are typically 1-5 MB compressed. The factory does not ship a desktop installer today (desktop is roadmap) — what you get is a `npm install && npm run dev` workspace plus a comprehensive README.
✓ Expected outcome
A downloadable Next.js + libSQL workspace that does what your Lovable web app did, but you own the code. Host it on Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Docker, or your own server. Includes a 200+ line README with deployment recipes and the same curl smoke test the factory used to verify your build.
Troubleshooting
Generated app has different fields than Lovable's+
Edit the manifest on the Plan Review screen before approving. The interview chat extracts entities heuristically; manual review catches differences.
You need a desktop or mobile output, not web+
Desktop and mobile pipelines are roadmap — the factory does not yet produce verified installers or APKs. Track progress on /factory/roadmap. For now, web is the only verified surface.
