INITIAL OUTPUT

Starting prompt initial output

Lovable started strong with character and personality. The first screen was an interest selection page, followed by an article feed with color-coded category tags and short descriptions. Including emojis and category colors adds more fun to Lovable's creation.

PROMPTING TOWARDS THE BRIEF

From simple to feature-rich

iteration_01.txt

Add a navigation bar, add a profile icon for users to save their profile and somewhere to save articles they like or want to go back to read, another icon on the nav bar for trending articles, allow users to emphasize or upvote different articles that are interesting or feel that others should read, have another option for users to save articles. Instead of redirecting the user once clicking the view more option, have an overlay pop up with a summary and main idea of what the article is about. Also offer a button for quick information (i.e. political post, the button will be a shortcut to show information of who is who in the article like the president: donald trump, Vice president: JD Vance, etc)
