Show HN: I built CLI to migrate Lovable React apps to Next.js–no rewrites needed

Hey HN!

If you’ve ever started a new Lovable project—just a React SPA under the hood—and later realized you need SSR, SEO, or file-based routing, you know the pain of manually reshaping every route and import.

I felt that pain too, so I put together a tiny CLI that:

Takes your existing Lovable SPA code (components, hooks, routes) as-is

Autogenerates Next.js pages from your React Router or Vite routes

Copies static assets into /public and fixes up CSS/JS imports

Why this matters to Lovable users

You started with a SPA because it was easy—but now you want Next.js perks (SSR, SSG, API routes).

Hand-rewriting every page is tedious and error-prone.

One CLI command gives you a fully bootstrapped Next.js app—no guesswork.

You’ll need a (free) account at https://nextlovable.com to use the CLI. Sign up there, then log in once to cache your credentials.

npm install -g next-lovable

next-lovable ./you-lovable-react-app

That’s it.

You’ll see a new /pages folder, your imports updated, assets in place, and you’re running Next.js without rewriting a line.
