How to Describe Your App Idea Effectively
Master the art of writing clear, detailed descriptions that generate better applications
The quality of your generated application directly depends on how well you describe your idea. A clear, detailed description helps our AI understand exactly what you want to build, resulting in better code, design, and functionality.
Think of your description as a blueprint - the more detailed and specific you are, the closer the final product will match your vision.
"Create a task management application where users can register accounts, create projects, add tasks to projects with due dates and priority levels, mark tasks as complete, and view a dashboard showing task statistics. Include user authentication, the ability to invite team members to projects, and a calendar view of upcoming deadlines."
"Make me a task app that looks good and works well."
This description is too vague and doesn't provide enough detail about features, functionality, or user requirements.
1. Core Functionality
Clearly describe what your app should do and what problems it solves.
Example: "Users can create, edit, and delete blog posts with rich text editing, upload images, categorize posts, and publish them with SEO-friendly URLs."
2. User Types and Permissions
Specify who will use your app and what they can do.
Example: "Admin users can manage all content and users, while regular users can only create and edit their own posts."
3. Data Structure
Explain what information your app will store and how it relates.
Example: "Each user has a profile with name, email, and bio. Users can create multiple projects, and each project contains tasks with titles, descriptions, due dates, and assignees."
4. User Workflows
Describe step-by-step how users will interact with your app.
Example: "When a user logs in, they see a dashboard with their recent projects. They can click 'New Project' to create one, then add tasks by clicking the '+' button within the project view."
Be Specific About Design
Instead of "make it look modern," specify colors, layout preferences, or reference existing designs you like.
Include Edge Cases
Think about error states, empty states, and what happens when things go wrong.
Mention Integrations
If you need email notifications, payment processing, or third-party APIs, include these in your description.
Consider Mobile Experience
Mention any mobile-specific requirements or how the app should behave on smaller screens.
- • Start with a simple version and iterate with more features
- • Use active voice and clear, simple language
- • Include specific examples of data or content
- • Mention any technical preferences (databases, authentication methods)
- • Think about the user journey from start to finish
- • Don't forget about admin/management features if needed
