Complete beginner looking for some tips

I'm also a noob, if you need someone to hold hands with

Hey! @Caleira (OG Spit Fire) Lovable is great for getting your first draft out, but the real progress comes from iterating on it. After the initial prompt, you just keep giving the AI specific tasks: "add login," "create a form," "add a dashboard," etc. think of it like directing a junior developer. you don't need to know how to code, but learning a little will help you tweak things later. most people build their MVP by generating the first version, adding features one by one through prompts, adjusting or polishing in the code editor if needed. use the AI to build the structure, then refine step by step. that's the workflow most of us follow.

Welcome!!!! Great questions. Here's my advice: Before you start prompting: Think about your product flow first. What screens do you need? What can users do? Go to ChatGPT, tell it your idea, ask it to give you structure - pages, features, user flow. Then bring that to Lovable. This saves you tons of credits and makes your prompts way more efficient. Understand this early: Your app needs a backend to actually work. If you get this from the start, building becomes way easier: Auth - User logins → "add user authentication" Database - Store your data → "create a table to store X" Storage - Files/images → "let users upload photos" Edge Functions - Backend logic → "send welcome emails" Realtime - Live updates → "add notifications" Use Lovable Cloud - it's Supabase but managed for you. Almost the same thing, way easier to use. Just ask the AI what you need and it sets everything up automatically. Tips: -Break your idea into small features, prompt one at a time -Be specific in your prompts
