Building apps with Lovable

Lovable builds full-stack web apps from plain-language prompts - describe what you want and it generates the interface, wires up a database and login, and publishes it to a live URL. This hands-on course takes you from your first prompt to a published app with real data and accounts: prompting well, iterating by chat and visual edits, adding a backend with Supabase, connecting APIs and secrets, publishing to a custom domain, debugging when it breaks, and knowing when to graduate to code.

Your practice task

Build one small web app of your own in Lovable: a form that saves entries to a database, with sign-in so each person sees only their own entries. Run the security review until it is clean, publish it, and test the live link from a private window as a new user. Submit the live link, your first prompt word for word, and three sentences on what the app does, what you fixed after testing, and your next step.
