When to Use This Prompt

Use this prompt when you want Lovable to create a focused course platform instead of a vague app shell. It is best for builders who already know the audience, the main workflow, and the first useful version they want to test.

Do not treat the prompt as a final product specification. Treat it as a strong starting brief. After Lovable creates the first version, review the result against the real user journey: what the user sees first, what action they should take, what happens after success, and what should appear when there is no data yet.

How to Customize the Prompt

Audience

Replace placeholder text with the exact user: founders, students, agencies, customers, admins, sellers, members, or job seekers.

Workflow

Name the main action from start to finish, such as booking, checkout, applying, generating, submitting, approving, or saving.

Data

Add the objects Lovable should model, such as users, projects, products, listings, invoices, bookings, messages, or saved items.

Launch needs

Add analytics, forms, custom domain, GitHub, Supabase, Stripe, security, or production-readiness requirements only when they matter.

Quality Checklist Before You Publish

The homepage or first screen explains the product clearly.
The main workflow can be completed without confusion.
Forms have labels, validation, success states, and error states.
Mobile layout works without horizontal scrolling.
Empty states explain what to do next.
Authentication, database, payments, and AI calls are reviewed before production.
Analytics and conversion events are ready before traffic is sent.
The next revision request is specific instead of asking Lovable to rebuild everything.

Follow-up Prompts to Improve the First Draft

After the first build, ask Lovable for narrow improvements. For example: improve the mobile layout, add realistic sample data, create an admin view, simplify the onboarding, add empty states, improve the CTA copy, or make the dashboard easier to scan.

Avoid stacking too many changes in one follow-up. Smaller revision prompts make it easier to keep the project stable and understand which change improved the app.

Prompt Variations

Use these versions when your project has a more specific angle.

Cohort course

Build a cohort-based course platform with cohorts, live session schedule, lesson library, assignments, student discussion, and progress dashboard.

Mini-course landing page

Build a mini-course sales page with curriculum, instructor section, testimonials, FAQ, pricing, and email capture for early access.
