Buildathon

Black Sheep Convention 2026 with Anita Ortiz Lubke

Show the flock what you built.

Drop your live site here, add a quick video walkthrough if you want to present, and it goes straight into the class gallery. Everything stays up after the convention, so send people the link.

When
Fri & Sat, Sept 25–26
Teams
Solo or up to 3
Presenting
Optional

Four steps, about ten minutes

  1. 1

    Publish your site

    Hit Publish in Lovable (or Deploy wherever you built it) so anyone can open the link, not just you.

  2. 2

    Record 2–3 minutes (optional)

    Your screen, your face, your voice. Here’s how on Mac or PC.

  3. 3

    Submit it here

    Paste the site link and the video link, or upload the video file. You get a private link to edit it later.

  4. 4

    Vote

    When Anita opens voting, pick your favorite build in the gallery. One vote each, and not for your own.

Joining on Zoom? The video is how you present. Record it, submit it, and Anita will play it for the room.

Three awards up for grabs

Prizes revealed in class

Best in Flock

Best overall project: the site, the design, how well it works, and how useful it is for a real business.

Baa-dass by Design

The best-looking build in the room. Borrow from a site you love, then push it until it’s yours.

The Flock Has Spoken

Audience favorite, picked by the class. Voting opens in the gallery on this page.

How to record your walkthrough

We recommend Loom: it’s free, records your screen with your face in a little bubble in the corner, and gives you a link the second you stop. No file to upload.

Before you hit record

  • Publish first. In Lovable, click Publish (top right), then use the link that ends in .lovable.app. The lovable.dev link only works for you.
  • Open the live link in a fresh browser window and close everything else: email, texts, other tabs.
  • Silence notifications. Mac: Control Center → Focus → Do Not Disturb. Windows: click the clock → Do not disturb.
  • Zoom the browser to 125% (⌘/Ctrl + +) so it reads on a projector.

Record with Loom

  1. 1

    Install Loom

    Go to loom.com/download, download the Mac app, open the file and drag Loom into Applications. Open it and sign up free (“Continue with Google” is fastest).

  2. 2

    Allow screen, camera and mic

    Your Mac will ask to let Loom use the screen, camera and microphone. Say yes to all three. If it sends you to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording, switch Loom on, then quit Loom and open it again.

  3. 3

    Start recording

    Click the Loom icon in the menu bar at the top right of your screen. Choose Screen and Camera, pick Full Screen, check your camera and microphone are the right ones, then Start Recording.

  4. 4

    Present (2–3 minutes)

    Follow the four beats under “What to say”. Talk like you’re showing a friend, not reading a script. Keep it under 5 minutes — that’s where Loom’s free plan stops recording.

  5. 5

    Stop

    Click the red stop button on Loom’s little control bar, or press ⌥ Option + ⇧ Shift + L.

  6. 6

    Copy your link

    Loom opens your video in the browser and copies the link for you. Paste it into the form below. That’s it.

On a Chromebook, or can’t install apps on a work laptop? Add the Loom extension for Chrome instead — same steps, it lives next to your address bar.

No Loom? Use the Mac’s built-in recorder
  1. Press ⇧ Shift + ⌘ Cmd + 5.
  2. Click Options and pick your Microphone (it’s set to None by default, so you’d record silence).
  3. Choose Record Entire Screen, then click Record.
  4. Want your face in it? Open Photo Booth first and shrink its window into a corner.
  5. Stop with the ■ button in the menu bar. The video lands on your Desktop as a .mov file — upload it in the form below.

Submit your build

It shows up in the gallery the moment you hit submit. You can change anything later.

Loom, YouTube (unlisted is fine), Vimeo or a Google Drive file shared as “Anyone with the link”.

We take a screenshot of your site automatically. Upload your own if you’d rather pick the shot.
