Starting Prompt Initial Output
Entering the starting prompt, Lovable started strong with character and personality. Similar to the other tools, Lovable started with an interest page of categories a user can select and then start the application. Including emojis and category colors adds more fun to Lovable's creation. The second page lists out the the articles with a short description with color coded category tags.
First Iteration Prompt and Output
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)
Next Iteration Prompt and Output
