Lovable Done (LD)

This component has gone beyond production readiness.

💖 Lovable Level Documentation

Level: Loveable Done (LD) Definition: This component has gone beyond production readiness. At this level, the component reflects thoughtful attention to detail, interaction elegance, polish, and usability. It has been tested, refined, and validated by collaboration between design, dev, and research.

🌟 LD Phases

💖 Loveable Level Documentation

Level: Loveable (LD) – Fully refined component with animations, polished visuals, and verified usability. Purpose: Deliver final UI with elevated detail, delight, and verified usability, informed by research, developer feedback, and real-world implementation.

📌 Loveable Phases

1. Planning & Research Collaboration

Goal: Define enhancements based on data, testing, and technical feasibility. Activities:

  • Partner with UX Research to plan usability testing (if needed)

  • Gather any Dev feedback from implementation or bugs

  • Align on enhancement scope with engineers

  • Define measurable goals for changes (e.g., reduced friction, clearer affordance)

  • Document insights, edge cases, and hypotheses

2. Ideation

Goal: Explore enhancements and refinements that elevate the component beyond functional. Activities:

  • Brainstorm visual, interaction, or microanimation improvements

  • Evaluate production-level usage and known feedback

  • Review inspiration from modern UI patterns or references

  • Explore visual cohesion with related components

3. Design

Goal: Refine visuals and variants for maximum polish and cohesion. Activities:

  • Update visual polish (shadows, transitions, layout finesse)

  • Add delight where relevant (e.g., smoothness, visual balance, hierarchy)

  • Ensure alignment with motion guidelines and brand tone

  • Resolve spacing/alignment bugs from Production version

  • Ensure all variants still behave correctly

4. Prototyping

Goal: Demonstrate interaction and microinteractions clearly for dev handoff. Activities:

  • Create advanced Figma prototypes (if applicable)

  • Simulate transitions, hover/focus/mode behaviors

  • Define animation specs (duration, easing, delays)

  • Validate token responsiveness still applies in animations

5. Review

Goal: Validate refinements across teams and incorporate final feedback. Activities:

  • Present changes to design lead, devs, and researchers

  • Iterate on any missed edge cases or technical issues

  • Cross-check against feedback from earlier levels

  • Final sign-off before handoff

6. Documentation

Goal: Update all documentation to reflect final refinements. Activities:

  • Expand Figma config panel documentation to include Loveable-level behaviors

  • Add motion specs, transitions, and interaction expectations

  • Provide links to prototype, usability findings (if applicable), and design tokens

7. Handoff

Goal: Ensure smooth transition to dev for implementation or refactoring. Activities:

  • Act as point of contact for handoff

  • Collaborate with engineers on final implementation

  • Answer questions about logic, behavior, or intent

  • Support QA as needed during dev build

✅ Exit Criteria – Mark as Loveable When:

  • Research and dev feedback have been implemented

  • Microinteractions are added and accessibility compliant

  • Testing has validated usability or joy-enhancing improvements

  • Component has visual finesse and attention to motion, hierarchy, and clarity

  • Documentation reflects full lifecycle and edge-case coverage
