I’m a 14-year-old builder from India, and I’ve been working on a design editor called EPIC (
https://no-edit.lovable.app )
It’s not an AI image generator.
It’s more focused on navigation + structured design workflows (posters, presentations, logos).
Instead of competing on “AI magic,” I tried something different:
Manual editing first
AI optional (not forced)
Lightweight UI
Fast load times
Clear navigation instead of feature overload
In the first 30 days:
100+ organic daily visitors
100 signups in a single day
Ranked #4 on launched.lovable.dev
5+ minute average session duration
What surprised me most:
Most users didn’t use AI mode.
They used manual editing more.
I think builders are overestimating AI demand and underestimating usability.
Technical stack:
Built using Lovable
Custom workflow logic for design blocks
Optimized sitemap for crawlability
Manual SEO submissions instead of paid traffic
Biggest lesson: Distribution > Features.
I’m still figuring things out.
Would love feedback from people who’ve built editors or design tools before.
