Copy-paste starter prompt
Build a booking app for my yoga studio. Clients can see the weekly class schedule, book a spot (max 12 per class), pay with Stripe Checkout in test mode, and see their upcoming bookings. Admin page for me to add classes. Use Supabase for data and auth. Mobile-friendly, calm design.

- Write a one-paragraph spec and list the 3 must-have screens.
- Paste the starter prompt into your builder and get a clickable first version.
- Connect the database and add realistic sample data.
- Add sign-up/login and test with two accounts.
- Add payments in test mode and do a full test purchase.
- Publish and connect a custom domain.
- Get 5 real users, fix where they get stuck, then launch.
