Maybe two tech companies, Figma and Lovable, will fight.
The letter says Lovable cannot use the name 'Dev Mode' for their new product. Another company, Figma, has a product called 'Dev Mode'. Figma owns this name.
Many products for programmers have "dev mode". It is like an edit mode. Big companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft use "developer mode". People often call it "dev mode".
Many people use "dev mode". Some companies used it before Figma. Many free computer programs use this name too.
Figma says 'Dev Mode' is a short name. It is not the full name 'developer mode'.
Figma sends letters to stop people using a word. If they don't, others can use it, and Figma loses the name.
Some people online say this word is very common. They say it cannot be a brand name. They think Lovable must fight.
Anton, the boss of Lovable, says they will not change the name of the feature now.
Figma can be angry. Figma wants to sell shares. Maybe Figma will go to court. But a court fight can be very expensive for the company Lovable. Lovable is a small company from Sweden. It got money in February.
Lovable is special. You tell it what you want, and it makes it with code.
Lovable says it is like Figma. It says designers can use Lovable easily, not like Figma. Many new companies use Lovable.
This is not only about a name. It is also about a big company fighting a small company.
Someone from Figma said this is true. They did not send letters to companies like Microsoft because their products are different.
Osika says Figma needs to make their product good. He says Lovable gets customers from Figma.
Dylan Field from Figma said these products are not a big problem.
Field said people like vibe coding because it is fast, but it is not easy to finish projects with it.
Osika looks ready to fight. He put a happy face near the letter on X.
