Summary

Building a SaaS Startup with Lovable AI: No-Code Note-Taking App Development

In this insightful tutorial, David, a Swiss doctor who shares educational content and tech experiments, demonstrates how to build a functional SaaS application without writing code. The video showcases the step-by-step process of creating a note-taking app with graph visualization capabilities similar to Obsidian, using only Lovable AI and Supabase.

David begins by explaining the initial setup process, which involves signing up for both Lovable AI (for code generation) and Supabase (for authentication and database storage). He shows how to craft effective prompts for the AI to generate the appropriate code structures for the application. When errors occur during development, David demonstrates how simply asking the chatbot to solve the problem often resolves issues quickly.

The tutorial covers implementing key features including user authentication (signup and login functionality), note creation with tagging capabilities, and the graph visualization system that displays connections between notes sharing the same tags. David provides a practical demonstration of how the user data is stored in Supabase, showing how notes are organized under specific user IDs for proper data management.

Throughout the video, David emphasizes the importance of design considerations to ensure the application maintains a clean, elegant interface. He also shows viewers how to access and review the code being generated behind the scenes, providing transparency into the development process.

This video represents part one of what appears to be a series on no-code SaaS development. The finished application successfully demonstrates core note-taking functionality with the ability to create notes, add tags, and visualize connections between related content - all without requiring traditional coding knowledge.

For entrepreneurs, startup founders, and tech enthusiasts interested in AI-powered development tools, this tutorial offers valuable insights into how modern AI platforms can accelerate the application development process, making software creation accessible to non-developers while still producing professional-quality results.

0:00 I built a s startup without coding using 0:02 lovable Ai and super base as an example 0:04 I created a note taking app that lets 0:06 you link noes and visualize the 0:08 connections in a graph similar to apps 0:09 like obsidian let's get started first we 0:11 need to sign up for lovable Ai and super 0:14 base lovable AI will generate most of 0:16 the code for us whereas superbase will 0:18 handle authentication and database 0:20 storage once we're signed in we can 0:22 start building I wanted the not taking 0:24 app that allows users to link noes with 0:26 taxs and visualize the connections in a 0:28 graph to get better results I customized 0:30 my prompt a little with the help of jgpt 0:33 sometimes an error occurs but it's not 0:34 something to worry about most of the 0:36 time simply asking the chatbot to solve 0:38 the problem is enough next we need to 0:40 set up authentication users should be 0:42 able to sign up and log in with their 0:44 name email and password for this we link 0:47 the project to superbase and integrate 0:53 authentication to make it easier we can 0:55 disable email confirmation in the 0:57 authentication provider section in 0:59 superbase when we go to super base we 1:01 can see my user id after I signed up so 1:04 now we add the following after signing 1:06 in the user should land on a dashboard 1:08 page where there is a text bar to type 1:11 in a note the user should be able to 1:13 save the note and add a tag to 1:21 it so when we go to profiles we see that 1:24 my user id starts with 60f something and 1:27 we see that all my notes are stored 1:29 under that exact same user ID now we 1:31 need to ask the obvious ask for the 1:33 graph that visualizes the linking of two 1:36 notes with the same tag to be shown as 1:39 well once the AI helps us with this we 1:42 already have a working note linking 1:44 system finally we tweak the design to 1:46 make sure the app looks clean and 1:48 elegant we can also click on this button 1:50 to view the code that is being written 1:52 with that all the necessary features are 1:55 set up and the app is already usable of 1:57 course we can continue improving the app 1:59 by adding more features and adjustments 2:01 so if you'd like to see part two then 2:03 let me know in the comments
