Full write-up & sources
What they did: The Redditor noticed sites built on Lovable were not getting indexed by Google, so he built Hado SEO to fix it. He validated in three steps, problem, message and distribution: a landing page and waitlist built on Lovable, a listing on Lovable Discover, and a month of hands-on, unscalable help in Discord.
Results: His 80 waitlist emails became 5 paying customers ($140 MRR) in launch week. After 45 days he reports about $1,137 MRR, about 460 users and about 40 paying, with no audience, ads or co-founder, and a first-page Google ranking for "prerender lovable" (Reddit, r/lovable).
Worth knowing: A problem inside a fast-growing tool comes with a ready-made audience. Selling where that community already gathers gets you first customers before any ads.
