Webflow vs. Lovable Showdown Live Today at 2pm EST 🥊

FEB 28 2025

*Sorry for the short Friday Edition today! We’ve been slammed preparing for this showdown with Brett and Henrik. I hope you’re able to watch and enjoy! We’ll resume interviews and designer features next week.

Look, it’s been a strange week. What started as a bit of Design Twitter beef has grown into a full on spectacle. Did I encourage this? Yes. Did I sanction it? Maybe. Did I jokingly suggest it should live on Polymarket so people could place their bets? Okay, fine, I did that too. And you know what? It’s awesome.

Enough with the endless speculation that AI is going to “crush designers” and “Figma/Webflow/etc is dead.” We’re putting AI to the test and having a good old fashioned duel - man vs. machine. (Okay, look, technically Henrik is a person but really he’s just the human-in-the-loop today. Claude 3.7 Sonnet will be behind the scenes doing the real work. No offense, Henrik.)

This Week in Design goes live at 1pm EST with the showdown kicking off promptly at 2pm EST. Details here.

Major shoutout to our sponsors Paper and Contra for helping to make this happen.
