MARKET Protocol

MARKET Protocol allows users to trade the price of anything while leveraging the benefits of the blockchain. Trade stocks, cryptocurrencies, and traditional assets. You can currently experience the power of blockchain derivatives trading with MPX, our decentralized exchange (DEX) built on top of MARKET Protocol.

I have been a team member almost since its inception, with a priority focus on the marketing startegy and social media as well as community building and engagement. During my tenure, the founders have empowered me with a lot of knowledge on the derivatives industry and have had a lot of flexibility and acceptance for my ideas and initiatives, always being oriented towards testing and learning from our experiences. They have enabled me to grow as a person and a professional, and allowed me the freedom to represent our project in all the capacity I felt will best demonstrate the revolutionary idea we are working on. The biggest takeaway for me while working with the team was the quality of relationships we have established among ourselves despite the cultural, professional background and timezone differences. They have a great recipe of how to build a remote and distributed workplace.

I'm starting to believe that we really need to rethink how we're build things. 

For example: 

- I don't think you need a CMS anymore, you can just build a blog on Lovable, clone and edit blog posts or landing pages in a single prompt, which is much faster than filling out text boxes. 

- Same goes for video editing and generation I guess - Whitney Menarcheck just showed us this is possible to do with Lovable too. 

- I built a chrome extension with Lovable recently even though it should not be technically possible. It just works.  

To those who say that the biggest bottleneck of development with AI tools will be hardware, memory, windows, models or anything else - I say that the biggest obstacle are actually our brains, which are hardwired to the old ways of thinking. 

Find a super bold and crazy idea, and try to build it. Who's to say it can't be done!

Slick! Amazing work Felix Haas Abey Thomas Joy Nad Chishtie Gustav Kjellin emil fagerholm Emil Ahlbäck Elliot Lindberg and everyone else in making this experience Lovable 😍

Digital Bauhaus!
Claymorphism?
Neumorphism...

And who can forget Glassmorphism 🔥  

I've been hearing of these and many more UI styles for a while now - but admit not always being sure what's the difference and how to replicate them. 

As usual, when I want to learn something new, I decide to build a Lovable project. 

And so, if you're like me, and you are not always sure that you know what these and many other mean or look like, or how to use them, my UI Style Guide is live! 

And yes, I included prompts that you can copy to apply any of these with ease 👀 

Like & Comment your favorite style and I will send you a link! 

Test it and let me know how I can improve it.

The designs!!! 😍 😍 🎁 

If you hesitated until now - you just have to try Lovable today!

Lovable now uses Claude Opus 4.5 as a core model for better designs. 

Early results show:
• 15% fewer mistakes
• 5% higher project success rate
• Noticeably better designs

All these upgrades come at no additional cost for Lovable users. Let us know what you think of it!

Vibe on the go from mobile for mobile is so underrated! 

One of my most productive build weekends in a while, I always love when I just vibe for the fun of it 😍 

Roast my builds please, tell me what to build next. 

And make sure to play around with Lovable next time while waiting for a bus, a meal, a friend!

Lovable users, we need your feedback! Please test and give my bro 🤖 Daniel Treviño Bergman some suggestions on how we can make this more Lovable ❤️

Another banger set of features drop on a Friday afternoon 😎 

This team never stops 🚢🚢🚢

Introducing Lovable Themes, Design View and AI Image Generation

1. Themes let you set brand standards and reuse them across your projects. You can create multiple themes and switch between them easily.

2. Improvements to visual edits. Select multiple elements and edit them together. Control margins, padding, fonts, and colors in the sidebar. Edit more text directly on the page. Adjust borders, shadows, and icons.

3. AI-powered image generation. Create and edit images with AI without leaving Lovable or hunting for stock photos. Describe the image you want and let Lovable create it for you.

You can find all these tools in a new design view that brings your visual editing tools into one place.

Now live for all Lovable users.

Every time I think I know it all, I get surprised. 

And I am starting to think that there's almost nothing left that Lovable cannot do. 

All you need is an idea. 

It just works!

Tech with a Heartbeat | Community @ Lovable

I just made an entire video with Lovable. I didn’t know this was possible…
I planned, created, and edited the whole thing using only Lovable!

Most people know Lovable as an AI app builder, but it’s quickly becoming a powerful way to create shareable content too—including videos. If you haven’t tried video creation in Lovable yet, consider this your sign.

SheBuilds on Lovable continues to surprise me in such great ways. The number of women applying, building, and shipping with confidence is rising fast! And with acceptances officially live and the countdown to the event underway, I put together this video to capture the latest stats and celebrate the momentum.

#SheBuildsOnLovable

Two massive milestones! 

So many reasons to be joyful today as this amazing team celebrates reaching its first anniversary and hitting $200M!!! 

Happy Birthday Lovable 😍 🔥

We launched Lovable one year ago, and today we hit $200M ARR.

Here's our story:

We started with a small team in Europe in a co-working space. Almost no one knew who we were, and we didn’t know what was coming.

But that changed quickly...

We transparently shared everything that happened on social media, including product updates, metrics, and new team members. 

Then, thousands of people started sharing what they built with Lovable.

Now, we have one of the most active communities in tech, with over 70 community-run events happening this week alone. People all over the world build 100,000+ new projects on Lovable every day.

It’s not just Lovable that’s grown fast: our users have too...

Lumoo, Quicktables, and Plinq are all products built entirely on Lovable with $10k-$100k in MRR just months after starting.

Designers, PMs, and even developers inside large companies have grown into an important customer group: HCA Healthcare now focuses less on mockups and more on patient care, and Klarna ships weekly instead of quarterly using Lovable.

Today, we’re releasing multiple product updates (read more on our blog):

1. MCP servers: Linear, Jira, Notion, Confluence, n8n
2. Themes: set brand standards across projects
3. Improved visual edits: multi-select components & image generation

MCPs are live today. Themes & visual edits rolling out this week.

We're also opening offices in Boston and San Francisco and building a world-class leadership team. Year one proved it works. Year two is about scale.

To thank you all for this year: For the next 7 days, if you refer someone to Lovable and they publish a project you'll both get 50 credits (that’s 5x more than usual!).

We're looking forward to many more Lovable years ❤️

The best vibe coding companion! 

I can't believe I am about to cross 400k words dictated - and mostly done on Lovable and any relevant app that I would use for project planning. 

Any other wispr-ers out there? Show me your stats!

Students from all over the world, this is your chance to join something life changing before your career even started! 

What would I give to be 19 again 😍

Just bought the best gift I could for Christmas to my best friend. 

To be able to give something so valuable as the power to build anything in just a few clicks feels like sorcery. 

But it's possible! 

Give the most Lovable present this holiday season to your loved ones :)

The single most underrated Lovable feature by far.

When you are in chat mode, Lovable reads your codebase, past messages, your prompt and assumes a role of a technical co-founder, much deeper than being an engineer executing your orders. 

I am not a developer, so I need someone to step in, and quite often too. And even if you are technical, who hasn't experienced a mental block at 10 PM after hours of building. 

It sets the course, writes the plan, all you have to do is click to implement and let it cook 🥧

Everything I learned about vibe coding comes as a result of being a chat first builder!

Announcing Claude Opus 4.5 is now powering Lovable's chat mode.

Our most successful users plan their builds with Lovable’s chat mode before making edits. Better planning means better builds, it’s that simple.

Opus 4.5’s frontier-level reasoning takes planning to another level.

It’s live in Lovable through December 5th.

Dear Lovable ladies - do not miss this opportunity to have the greatest holiday season ever, and instead of waiting for Santa, make your own dreams come true and give yourself the best gift yet!

SheBuilds on Lovable buildathon applications are open again!!! A buildathon created for women, by women. Will you be there!!?

SheBuilds on Lovable is for every woman who’s had a product idea strike while feeding the kids, between meetings, on a run, during school pickup, and thought, “if only I had the skills, time, or help.”

Good news: The time is *now*. And no coding skills are required!

You will join hundreds of other women, get 48 hours, build your idea, and we give you unlimited credits to make it happen. Together. We will support you. We will lift you up. YOU. WILL. SHIP!

I want women shipping apps that solve real problems they care about. Tools that help your community, your household, your kids, your parents, you business (and yea, make money). 

🔥 Because when women build, world gets better. 

Ladies, let's go build something nobody saw coming 💃 

Important deets:
1. 48 hour buildathon is Dec 15-17
2. applications close in 48 hours, on Nov 26th.

3. APPLY HERE: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gpzsUR-R ⬅️ 
(if you've applied before, apply again!) 
-> you must have a Lovable account to apply

4. we’re selecting ~200 participants across 3 categories: business app, consumer app, and social impact 

5.  prizes: 5K lovable credits, mentorship from me, memories to last a lifetime, and a community that will absolutely change your trajectory

Season 1 was a blast. Season 2 is going to be even better. Don’t miss it!

P.S. Who runs the world???

Link to the video on how it was made in the comments 🙂

Favorite Sunday read 🤩 can't wait for the next update!

This is what we improved to Lovable last month:

4. Smoother custom domain setup and management.
5. Choose a primary domain and automatically redirect all others to it.
6. Added domain ownership validation before a domain goes live.
7. Ability to request access when opening a private project you're not part of.
8. "Workspace-only" publishing to restrict access to your workspace members.
9. Option to disconnect a project from GitHub if you need to move it elsewhere.

Hi, my name is Dr. Layne McDonald. I have over 20 years of film and television experience, working on fantastic projects with genuinely talented and passionate people. Coming from NPR radio in high school to working on indie films and finding myself amid giants on "Passion of the Christ," "City of Ember," "I Am David," and "Polar Express," I was quickly blessed to work on music videos in Hollywood and sit at the feet of some of the most unique talents in Hollywood history. Today, I have journeyed through those great halls of film music and even worked as a Media Director for a well-known and respected bank. I have had incredible mentors along the way and am blessed to work with amazing people with big hearts and unique spirits. I am blessed to be a blessing.

With a Ph.D. in Administration and Management and a Master's in Communications, I co-founded I Love You Period and founded You Upgraded. As the Founding Communications Director for United for Life Foundation, my mission is to elevate everyone’s creative selves, helping them achieve their greatest potential through faith, love, and innovative strategies.

Layne Mcdonald, Ph.D.

Urgency isn’t just economic: it's spiritual. The truth no leader wants to voice: Churches and businesses are facing the same cultural crisis. Distrust, division, burnout. Generational walls. Performance metrics over people.  

But here’s my conviction: Love, mercy, and forgiveness aren’t just biblical: they’re a competitive advantage. Trust runs deeper than strategy. Grace outperforms fear. Forgiveness multiplies creativity. These principles build teams (and communities) that thrive even when the culture is fracturing.  

The next breakthrough? It’s not tech. It’s character. I’ve watched ministries and startups heal, accelerate, and grow: when leaders dared to lead with open hands and unguarded hearts.  

Where have you seen mercy and forgiveness change your work or community? What would shift if you led with love this week?

Every culture: churches and boardrooms alike: reaches a moment of crisis: Do we fracture further, or rebuild on what matters most?

Competitive advantage is no longer a badge or balance sheet. It’s love that listens when tempers flare. Mercy that offers a second chance. Grace that rewrites tired scripts. Hope that refuses cynicism. Forgiveness that refuses to weaponize the past.

I’ve seen it: healing happens when we shift from fear of disruption to the power of reconciliation. 

This is how movements last, workplaces thrive, and families heal. Start here: these aren’t just virtues. They’re the new currency of impact.

Welcome, friends. Every device in our home holds power: to distract, connect, or even call forth destiny. If your teens are like mine, they live in the crossfire of digital noise and promises of influence. Protecting your family’s digital well-being isn’t just about setting boundaries: it’s about planting the seeds of purpose.

We invite our kids to use technology to serve, inspire, and even build income that honors God’s design. It starts with open conversations; anchored in love, mercy, grace, hope, and forgiveness. In our home, we pray together before logging on. We check in, set limits, and dream up ways to turn digital skills into Kingdom wins and small businesses.

Digital boundaries are not a wall; they’re a framework for freedom, trust, and calling. How do you guide your family through the tension of tech, purpose, and protection?

Faith-driven entrepreneurship isn’t a trend, it’s a quiet revolution. Every week, I meet a new Gen Z leader chasing more than just profit: they want meaning, legacy, and a business model rooted in grace. Their questions reveal a hunger for authenticity and purpose that outpaces any previous generation.

This isn’t about lofty ideals. It’s practical, urgent, and anchored in the essentials: love, mercy, grace, hope, and forgiveness. Those are the cornerstones that bring healing to organizations and spark economies built on trust instead of transactions.

Are you seeing faith-driven leadership show up in your circle? How would more mercy and grace in the workplace reshape your team, your business, your city?

#morningconversations #drmac #youupgraded

Ever wonder why biblical work-life balance outperforms every productivity hack? Neuroscience is catching up to what Scripture has declared for centuries: sustainable growth begins with rest, renewal, and honest boundaries. When our foundation is love, mercy, grace, hope, and forgiveness: not hustle or anxiety: work becomes meaningful, not draining. 

Research shows that grace-based living reduces cortisol, while hope restores the executive function we need to lead. Secular hacks focus on output. Biblical rhythms build legacy. 

I anchor my day in prayer, compassion, and a willingness to forgive myself (and others) for imperfection. It’s how I help people find their calling: and it’s how churches and businesses overcome cultural burnout. 

What daily shift could help your work feel more like purpose, less like pressure?

#morningconversations #drmac #youupgraded

You've seen the spotlights, but let’s talk about what happens when no one’s watching, the moments where faith is more than a word, it’s an action. When I worked backstage with Oscar- and Emmy-winning teams, the biggest impact never came from being seen. It came from serving, forgiving, and listening when nobody saw but God. It’s humility that multiplies our reach, on set, at home, and every space in between.

Faith shows up biggest in unseen gestures: encouraging someone privately, praying before a giant step, giving grace in tough moments. That’s what leadership demands, and it’s what the world needs right now. I’m inviting YOU into the conversation: What’s one act of faith, quiet, understated, but powerful, you’ve put into motion this week?

Drop a comment, share your story, connect with me! Let’s build a community of real, authentic faith together. Like, share, and follow for daily inspiration crafted just for your journey. Your story matters here.

#morningconversations #drmac #youupgraded

What if your next breakthrough isn’t about chasing trends: but discovering the gift you’ve already got in your hand? Stewardship is the quiet rebellion against hustle culture. Are you willing to turn what makes you YOU: your skills, your story, your spark: into something that multiplies for God and for generations?

Take one moment of honest self-reflection: Which skill, creative outlet, or faith insight could you start sharing or monetizing today? Whether you teach, design, craft, encourage, or organize: there’s legacy in small beginnings anchored in purpose, prayer, and service.

I want to hear from YOU! Drop your skill, gift, or idea below: let’s build genuine connection, not just conversation. Invite someone to join. Like this post, share your story, and FOLLOW for daily ideas tailored to fuel YOUR unique calling. This feed is for leaders who uplift, multiply, and make real impact. 

What’s the one thing you could offer that nobody else can? Let’s get vulnerable & grow together. #morningconversations #drmac #youupgraded
