Proprietary SaaS app builder; closed source. (GPT Engineer, its open source predecessor, is a separate legacy repo; the scored product is the proprietary Lovable platform.) The product site is no longer fetchable - lovable.dev answers 403 to a non-browser request - so the claim rests on Lovable's own documentation, which describes a hosted platform throughout: account creation, dashboard, enterprise tier, a managed Cloud backend, connectors, git sync and a managed npm registry, with no source distribution and no self-host path.
