Maybe big tech companies will fight. Figma told Lovable to stop using their ideas.
The letter says Lovable must not use the name 'Dev Mode' for their new thing. Figma uses 'Dev Mode' and they own the name now.
"Dev mode" is a word many products for programmers use. It helps them change things, like edit mode. Big companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft have this. They call it "developer mode," and people say "dev mode."
Many companies use 'dev mode'. For example, Atlassian used it before Figma. Many free computer programs use this name.
Figma says 'Dev Mode' is their special name. It is like saying 'bug' is a special name.
Figma has to send letters to people who use the word. If they don't, the word will be a normal word, and they can't keep it special.
Some people on the internet say this word is very common. They say it should not be a brand name. They think Lovable should fight.
The company boss says they will not change the name.
Maybe Figma will sue. Figma is busy. Figma wants to sell the company. If Figma sues, it will cost Lovable a lot of money. Lovable is a small company from Sweden. They got $15 million in February.
Lovable is special. You can tell it what you want, and it makes the code for you. Now you can also change the code it makes.
Lovable says it is better than Figma. Many new companies use Lovable now.
This is not just a fight about a name. It is also a big company fighting a small, new company. Figma was worth a lot of money last year.
Someone from Figma said this is true.
Osika from Lovable says Figma should make their product good. He says Lovable is getting customers from Figma.
Dylan Field from Figma said these products are not bad.
Field said people like fast coding. But people also want to finish their work. This is a problem for design and code.
Osika seems ready too. He smiled when he shared the letter online.
