I have an n8n workflow that has a character generation node, which is a generate image model, and then I have a character editing node, which is an edit image model. Both using Gemini 2.5 flash (Nano Banana).

I noticed this morning that the first one is working, but the latter one isn't. I'm not getting an error in n8n. It looks like the node just never really fires, so it's impossible for me to debug. I'm wondering if anybody knows if Google has made some updates/deprecated to the 3.5 flash image editing model and if I need to swap it out ? Or did anybody else run in a similar issue in the past ?

I just launched a business and I have been trying to setup a meta Ads manager account to run ads and manage my posts across Instagram and Facebook. Given that, I have already spent an insane amount of time setting up the account.. between identity bugs (Meta AI called it ghost identity loop) , phone number issues, and profile verifications I feel like I am spending more time doing the setup than building my ads strategy.

Is this normal ? I have worked in Ad Tech for many years, using a variety of DSPs and Ads Manager, and frankly I have never seen a UI/Workflow so excessively complicated and buggy

**Small rant about Lovable Plus. Would love to get to hear about other people's opinion on this. **

I started my project with Lovable, and at the beginning I was having a pretty good experience, but I rapidly started seeing a degradation in the service and value I was getting as I started migrating out some features from the pure Lovable stack. For example, I felt the need have my own Supabase instance, and then I was managing my own GitHub repo separately as well so I could push code from Claude code.

I experienced the following problems:

1. When I changed the name of the repo because my app name changed, it completely broke the connection with Lovable, and I had to remix the project in Lovable. That was the only way to unblock it and be able to keep developing.
2. I experience, oftentimes, issues with Lovable sync from GitHub, so I couldn't ship a new feature that I was developing, as I was also using Claude code to make some changes in the background.

More generally , I started seeing that I was barely using my Lovable credits anymore as I was becoming a heavier user of Claude code also from a UI standpoint. I was just paying to get frustrated and having a constant issue with GitHub syncing. So I just decided to migrate to Vercel and completely cancel Lovable.

I have to say I am a bit disappointed and sad that a company that I respected so much has completely lost its value in my eyes. But frankly, for whoever is reading this, I don't see Lovable being of any value if you are able to use a terminal and you have some familiarity with databases as well as basic APIs and coding concepts.
