Lovable, one of Europe's highest-grossing startups, touted launching an "iPhone App" — but it's actually just a complete web app, mocked as something "a junior could spin up in 2012 for a homework assignment."
Commenters quipped the company just wanted to keep the vibe-coding theme around its brand. The episode sparked ridicule of the AI unicorn's marketing.
