Hey StartupBase 👋 I'm Alex, one of the people behind Build Lab.
We got tired of "AI builds an app in minutes" claims with no numbers behind them — so we started doing the boring part. We build the same real app across tools like Bolt, Lovable, v0 and Y Build, time every prompt and manual step, and publish exactly what happened, methodology and raw logs included.
It's organized into four tracks — Build, Ship, Compare, and The Lab — so whether you want a step-by-step build, an honest deploy guide, or measured tool comparisons, you get data instead of hype.
Would love to hear what you'd want us to test next.
