Upgrading an internal Lovable data tool with Firecrawl scraping, building an aggressive self-reporting page keeping close track of several thousand ICP companies.
Firecrawl for Lovable is free until the end of January. Staying on top of integrations and launch campaigns is important – missing the oversaturation point at the Bell Curve and going hard on GTM opportunities as an early adopter.
The Market Radar app has been sending daily updates for market data and some ICP companies for a couple of months now. Fresh data and more access points make a real difference in:
1. Serving our mid-market agency and consulting clients
2. Providing core insights before the media picks up
3. Dictating roadmap actions as trends are shaping
4. Identifying industry trends (right now healthcare is laying off in key research categories)
5. Keeping track of shaping new roles around AI, product management, engineering management
What’s been very helpful in the process is debug pages troubleshooting the end-to-end cycle – response codes, timeouts, loggers.
Two areas I’m still trying to hone in on are:
– Better cron job support for recurring reports – this has improved dramatically over the past couple of months, but getting a crawl log is still critical
– Scrapers that handle timeouts, throttling, and working around/bypassing different obstacles
Right now, insights and content pieces are still incomplete because of the two points above.
But my next stage (in addition to this one) is bringing some of the B2B Ecosystem microtools like GTM Brain ported over from Next to Lovable, with additional features and content generation around the core topics PE companies and mid-market non-tech businesses deal with.
Hoping the Lovable community will raise more AI operators handling the day to day of these.
Tips along the way are welcome.
