A note from Bodie:

I remixed my project so people can play around with it without affecting my original version: https://kilowatt-curator-clone.lovable.app

I also figured out how to let others Remix a project on Lovable.

Sign up for a Lovable account and log in.
Go to the following link: https://lovable.dev/projects/20673798-2b68-4188-96ff-37dcfa6a9f35.
Click the Remix button at the top right. It will take you to the prompt/preview page to edit the the new "Remixed" site.

I also created a brief (video and audio) explainer if you want to add it to the end of the episode:
