About
A builder challenge made by a builder, for the community.
How it started
After hundreds of builds and dozens of events with all kinds of clients, big and small, I noticed everyone wants the same three things: to know they're doing good work, to compare that work with other people's, and to be around other builders — because nothing beats the rush of building together.
Belonging, healthy comparison, recognition for the people who actually put in the work. That's universal. It cuts across cultures — I've seen it land the exact same way with people from all over the world.
So I built the Lovable Builders Cup: a place where those three things happen in a structured, fun and fair way. I'm Brazilian, but the Cup is for the world.
What it is
Everything the Cup ships with today:
Every submission is visible, linking out to the project and to the builder. No hidden feed.
Each round opens, closes, and is judged against public criteria. No secret jury.
The round's top 11 builders — and an overall view, accumulated over time.
Everyone who makes the Top 11 stays on record. Grouped by badge, by builder, and by country.
Every builder has a sticker at /@username — it works as their identity hub.
Top 11 finalists get a certificate that lives inside their sticker.

Who built this
Lovable Ambassador · Brazil
I'm Lucio, one of the early Lovable Ambassadors. I've spent the last while running events and helping builders ship — that's how I ended up here.
Across all of that, the pattern was always the same: people want belonging, fair comparison, and recognition when they put in the work. The Cup is my attempt to give that to the whole community, not just whoever shows up in one city.
On the side, I also run hackathons in Brazil — see lovablehackathons.com.br if that's your thing.
