3 months ago, building an app required:
- 6 months of development
- $300K budget
- Team of 5 devs
- Prayer that nothing breaks
Yesterday, I created and deployed CoachFlow in 22 minutes.
Workflow: ChatGPT - Lovable - Supabase - Cursor
step-by-step how:
I'll be using https://t.co/G1zOY8QxUU as the main engine for this workflow.
Lovable’s new AI agents handled UI logic, interactions, and flow like a real senior dev—no boilerplate, just production-ready screens.
1. start with the vision
before opening any tool, get 3 things clear:
- who’s it for?
- what problem does it solve?
- what makes it feel magic?
I use ChatGPT for all this
for CoachFlow, it’s an AI coach that helps you stay on track with goals, reflect daily, grow consistently https://t.co/yUioeYW8Ic
2. map the experience
now break down how people will use it:
- set goals
- track habits
- write reflections
- get insights + motivation
this is your user journey. keep it simple. focus on what really matters.
3. pick your 5 must-have screens
don’t overbuild.
CoachFlow’s MVP only needs:
- home dashboard
- goal + habit tracker
- daily reflection journal
- weekly insights
- settings + personalization
less = faster shipping. https://t.co/yOszBIvC38
4. define the UI with GPT
get ChatGPT to describe each screen layout.
ask it to include:
- components
- user actions
- nav structure
- bonus details like mood sliders or coach tone toggles
this becomes your blueprint for dev + design.

5. choose the vibe
we went with a modern glassmorph style and bright gradients:
🔹 glowing buttons
🔹 soft cards
🔹 vibrant colors (think cosmic bloom, vaporwave, arctic aurora)
this makes the experience feel alive, not another boring productivity app. https://t.co/y7Ljnj3ST5
6. build the frontend in Lovable
https://t.co/dZUp9LVRDU makes it easy to bring your UI to life—without writing boilerplate.
here you can:
- import GPT layouts
- create interactions + flow logic
- preview how the app feels
in hours, you get a working PWA, not just mockups. https://t.co/knLHmb3wzb
7. backend powered by Supabase
connect your frontend to real data with Supabase.
you get:
- email auth
- journaling + habit database
- AI prompts storage
- file uploads (for voice-to-text reflections)
zero DevOps. everything just works. https://t.co/mx9VBR9ZLY
8. use Cursor to make edits
in Cursor, you can:
- refactor screens in seconds
- add components with prompts
- test new logic live
- generate database schema instantly
9. test + ship
once the app flows, just:
- connect to Netlify (for hosting)
- add a manifest for PWA install
- share the link and start collecting feedback
no App Store, no approval wait. https://t.co/Bas7dpPRY2
you don’t need a big team to build something personal + powerful.
you just need:
- one clear idea
- https://t.co/dZUp9LVRDU
- a tight scope
- and a few AI tools to do the heavy lifting
CoachFlow is proof.
just build better.
That's a wrap🍹 Hope you enjoyed it.
