Hey everyone! π
Iβm Jasmin β a junior vibe coder learning to build in public.
Lovaround started as a weekend project with my boyfriend (whoβs teaching me Lovable π), and nowβ¦ itβs live!
We built it to help makers find each other β for real.
Let us know what you think, and donβt forget to pin yourself on the map π
π https://lovaround.com
Happy to answer any questions or ideas! π
Yes β actually, the maker pins are publicly visible and indexed, so over time they can contribute to SEO!
We designed Lovaround to be a real, live network β not just a signup wall β so when someone pins themselves, theyβre not just βin the systemββ¦ theyβre visible to the world π (unless they choose to hide their profile).
Thereβs no ad tracking or anything like that, but the visibility might help with organic discovery, backlinks, or even collabs from unexpected corners of the internet β¨
Really appreciate the question β weβre just getting started so ideas like this help us shape where Lovaround goes π
Cool idea! But I ran into an issue after signing up. I couldn't fill in my email address, so I wasn't able to complete the final step. Seems like it might be a bug.
Congrats on the launch. This is an interesting idea, and I already submitted my profile to Lovaround. Looking forward to seeing more developers, designers, or anyone with excellent skills!
@cichykrzysztofΒ Yes β we actually saw FoundersAround too (cool idea btw!).
What weβre trying with Lovaround is a slightly different vibe: less directory, more human map. Something more playful, visual, and open β where people can instantly see whoβs out there, without even signing up.
Weβre also thinking in public about features that go beyond just location β like tags, discovery by vibe/stack/stage, or async ways to spark conversations π¬
Totally appreciate the comparison though β the world definitely needs more ways for builders to connect.
Letβs see where this goes ππ

Leo, FoundersAround founder here. Congrats on the launch! It's so great to see people launching websites inspired by one I created from scratch.
Huge respect for what you built with FoundersAround β it clearly resonated with a lot of people (us included!).
Lovaround actually started as a fun weekend experiment to see how fast we could build something feel-good and useful using @Lovable β which made it insanely easy to get something live, fast. Seriously, your work inspired us β and Lovable enabled us π
As for the plan:
Weβre keeping it lightweight and playful for now, focusing on the vibe-first experience β helping builders find each other visually, with a sense of presence and serendipity. But weβre listening closely to what the community wants, and already thinking about filters, async hangouts, tags by skills/tools, and more.
Thanks for stopping by β and congrats again for having sparked so many ideas through your own project π

So the globe itself is a community where we can find resources to build what's being planned? since i have login all details to join the community but i haven't seen any structured platform or group for it.
First of all, thank you for joining the Lovaround map π
Right now, the globe is mostly a playful experiment β a way to visualize whoβs building with Lovable and spark unexpected connections between vibe coders.
But you're absolutely right β it could evolve into something more structured: a shared space with resources, discussions, collaborations, maybe even in-person meetups.
If you have ideas on how to shape it into a real community platform, Iβd love to hear them π

Will it also affect somehow SEO and AD when someone "register/pin" there? :)

@guanghuadavidΒ thanks for letting us know! π
It definitely sounds like a bug (weβve seen it happen randomly on some browsers π).
We just pushed a quick fix β could you try again and see if it works for you now? π https://lovaround.com
If itβs still acting weird, feel free to DM me or drop a note here β Iβll jump on it right away π οΈπ
Thanks again for being part of day 1 β youβre helping us make it better! π

@justin_baoΒ Thank you so much! π
So glad you joined the map β and YES, weβre super excited to see it fill up with devs, designers, makersβ¦ anyone building something cool π₯
Weβre thinking about adding tags or filters soon to make it easier to find the right people to connect with.
If you have any ideas (or wishes!), Iβd love to hear them π‘
Thanks again for the support β means a lot on day one π
A month ago, there was an identical project called FoundersAround
