Lovable

Describe the Application and Core Features

Start the project with a clear description of the purpose and essential functions needed.

Enter prompt: 'Build a scheduling application for a salon, with customer registration/login, service selection, time selection, and appointment confirmation'.

List clearly the required pages (home page, scheduling page, admin page) so Lovable builds the correct structure from the start.

Connect Supabase for Authentication and Database

Activate real backend to store user accounts and appointments.

Go to Integrations, connect Supabase, to let Lovable automatically create user data and corresponding appointment tables.

Double-check the table structure created by AI in Supabase Studio to ensure the needed data types are correct.

Refine the Interface Through Chat

Adjust layout, colors, and user experience with subsequent requests.

Enter edit requests such as 'change primary color to turquoise' or 'add a confirmation step before booking'.

Tweak each small part and see the preview immediately after each change to avoid having to make multiple corrections.

Test the Entire Flow in Live Preview

Fully experiment with the registration, scheduling, and confirmation flow as a real customer.

Create a test account, book a sample appointment, check if data is saved correctly in Supabase.

Test error cases (selecting a fully booked time) to ensure the application handles real-life situations correctly.

Connect Domain and Publish

Make the application public with your business's own domain.

Go to Publish, connect your own domain or use a free subdomain, click Publish to put the application on the internet.

Sync code with GitHub before publishing to have a backup and make it easier to hand over to developers later.
