Mobile Keyboard Pushing Content Off Screen in Lovable
When users tap on an input field in your Lovable app on mobile, the on-screen keyboard pushes content off the screen, hides the input field behind the keyboard, or causes the entire layout to shift and break.
This is extremely frustrating for users trying to fill out forms, write messages, or search. They can't see what they're typing, buttons become unreachable, and the app feels completely broken during text input.
The problem is particularly bad on iOS where the keyboard behavior differs significantly from Android, and fixed-position elements (headers, footers, CTAs) cause additional complications.
Error Messages You Might See
Layout shift after keyboard open
Input hidden behind keyboard
viewport-fit=cover not applying
Common Causes
- Fixed positioning with keyboard — Fixed-position elements (headers, footers, floating buttons) don't adjust when the keyboard opens
- 100vh height issue — Using 100vh for layout height doesn't account for the keyboard, causing content to be hidden behind it
- Missing scrollIntoView — The focused input doesn't scroll into view above the keyboard
- iOS visual viewport issues — iOS handles the viewport differently when the keyboard appears, especially in PWA mode
How to Fix It
- Use dvh instead of vh — Replace height: 100vh with height: 100dvh which accounts for dynamic viewport changes including keyboard
- Scroll input into view — Add a focus event listener that scrolls the input into the visible area: element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth', block: 'center' })
- Avoid fixed positioning on forms — Use sticky positioning or make the form content scrollable instead of fixed
- Use visualViewport API — Listen to the visualViewport resize event to adjust layout when the keyboard appears
- Test on real devices — Keyboard behavior varies significantly between iOS and Android and can't be fully simulated in DevTools

Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

Hey I'm Sage! Im a Boston area software engineer who grew up in South Florida. Ive worked at a ton of cool places like a telehealth kidney care startup that took part in a billion dollar merger (Cricket health/Interwell health), a boutique design agency where I got to work on a ton of exciting startups including a photography education app, a collegiate Esports league and more (Philosophie), a data analytics as a service startup in Cambridge (MA) as well as at Phillips and MIT Lincoln Lab where I designed and developed novel network security visualizations and analytics. I've been writing code and furiously devoted to using computers to make people’s lives easier for about 17 years. My degree is in making computers make pretty lights and sounds. Outside of work I love hip hop, the Celtics, professional wrestling, magic the gathering, photography, drumming, and guitars (both making and playing them)

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
Why does this only happen on iOS?
iOS handles the virtual keyboard differently than Android. On iOS, the keyboard overlays the viewport without resizing it, while Android typically resizes the viewport. This means iOS requires special handling with the visualViewport API.
What is dvh?
dvh stands for dynamic viewport height. Unlike vh which is fixed to the initial viewport size, dvh updates when the viewport changes — like when a mobile keyboard appears or disappears.
