A go-to-market cadence built on relentless shipping velocity plus constant public communication, layered with occasional tier-one launches that step-change product-market fit. The daily noise doubles as a resurrection and re-engagement engine; the big launches are the turbo boosts. Use it when you are small enough to have narrative control and can ship fast.
Origin
Elena describes building in public coupled with employee and founder socials as one of Lovable's biggest strategies, with velocity of shipping as the development team's number-one core value. She contrasts constant daily noise with rallying tier-one launch moments.
Core principles
- 01Just ship things you can talk about
- 02Maintain enough noise that the product feels alive and changing every week
- 03Short time from user feedback to shipped change makes users feel heard
- 04Empower product engineers to announce their own work — don't funnel everything through marketing
How to run it
- 1
Make shipping velocity a core value
Treat velocity of shipping as the number-one development value — ship every day, every other day, or multiple times a day.
Pro tip Aim for a marketable feature on a regular cadence (weekly is a strong benchmark) so there is always something to talk about.

Talk about everything you ship, constantly
Pair each ship with public communication via founder and employee socials, so people log into social to see 'what has Lovable shipped now?'
Pro tip This works as both a resurrection and a re-engagement strategy — better than newsletters, because users check social themselves.
- 3
Distribute the announcing
Have product engineers announce their own shipped features rather than routing every announcement through a central marketing team.
Pro tip This requires redefining roles — everyone becomes a bit of a marketer with high autonomy and agency.
Watch out Without distributed announcing you'd need an enormous marketing team to support the shipping velocity.

Tier your launches
Separate everyday noise (tier three) from rallying tier-one launches meant to step-function change product-market fit, backed by coordinated company-wide activity.
Pro tip Tier-one launches are the 'turbo boosts' — big amplifications that create a step change, on top of the constant baseline noise.
In the wild
Rather than sending newsletters of trends or user stories, Lovable's users log into their social feeds specifically to see what Lovable shipped, because feedback-to-delivery is so short they feel heard.
→ Social becomes a re-engagement and retention channel.
Lovable's lean product org leans on 'product engineers' who ship and then announce the thing they built themselves.
→ Sustains multi-times-per-day shipping cadence without a huge marketing team.
Common mistakes
Routing all announcements through marketing
Creates a bottleneck that either slows shipping cadence or requires an unaffordably large marketing team.
Only doing big launches
Without constant daily noise the product stops feeling alive, losing the resurrection and re-engagement effect between tentpole moments.
Is it for you?
Best for
Small, fast-shipping startups with narrative control and founders/employees willing to build in public
Not ideal for
Large enterprises with limited narrative control, heavy compliance review, or slow release cycles
