Pro Tips for Better Lovable Prompts

Always specify your authentication requirements. Does your app need social login? Email verification? Role-based access? The more specific you are, the better Lovable can configure your auth setup.

Mention your infrastructure choice upfront. If you're using Base44, you can write simpler prompts because the backend is handled automatically. If you're using manual Supabase, you need to specify your database schema.

Include UI style guidance. "Clean and minimal" produces very different results than "colorful and playful" or "enterprise dashboard-style."
