I just launched a business and I have been trying to setup a meta Ads manager account to run ads and manage my posts across Instagram and Facebook. Given that, I have already spent an insane amount of time setting up the account.. between identity bugs (Meta AI called it ghost identity loop) , phone number issues, and profile verifications I feel like I am spending more time doing the setup than building my ads strategy.

Is this normal ? I have worked in Ad Tech for many years, using a variety of DSPs and Ads Manager, and frankly I have never seen a UI/Workflow so excessively complicated and buggy

**Small rant about Lovable Plus. Would love to get to hear about other people's opinion on this. **

I started my project with Lovable, and at the beginning I was having a pretty good experience, but I rapidly started seeing a degradation in the service and value I was getting as I started migrating out some features from the pure Lovable stack. For example, I felt the need have my own Supabase instance, and then I was managing my own GitHub repo separately as well so I could push code from Claude code.

I experienced the following problems:

1. When I changed the name of the repo because my app name changed, it completely broke the connection with Lovable, and I had to remix the project in Lovable. That was the only way to unblock it and be able to keep developing.
2. I experience, oftentimes, issues with Lovable sync from GitHub, so I couldn't ship a new feature that I was developing, as I was also using Claude code to make some changes in the background.

More generally , I started seeing that I was barely using my Lovable credits anymore as I was becoming a heavier user of Claude code also from a UI standpoint. I was just paying to get frustrated and having a constant issue with GitHub syncing. So I just decided to migrate to Vercel and completely cancel Lovable.

I have to say I am a bit disappointed and sad that a company that I respected so much has completely lost its value in my eyes. But frankly, for whoever is reading this, I don't see Lovable being of any value if you are able to use a terminal and you have some familiarity with databases as well as basic APIs and coding concepts.
