Describing Your App

The better you describe, the better your app.
Be Specific
Instead of vague descriptions, be concrete:
| ❌ Too Vague | ✅ Specific |
|---|---|
| "Make a fitness app" | "Make an app that tracks push-ups with a daily counter and weekly graph" |
| "I need a notes app" | "Create a note-taking app with folders, search, and dark mode" |
| "Build something for recipes" | "Build an app where I can save recipes with ingredients and step-by-step instructions" |
Include Key Details
Think about:
- Core Features — What must it do?
- User Flow — How will people use it?
- Data — What information needs to be saved?
- Design — Any visual preferences?
Example: Great Description
"I want a water intake tracker. Users should be able to:
- Set a daily goal (like 8 glasses)
- Tap a button to log a glass of water
- See progress as a visual bar filling up
- Get a celebration animation when they hit their goal
- View a weekly history chart
Design should be clean and blue-themed."
This gives us everything we need!
Iterating
You don't have to get it perfect the first time. Start simple, then add:
- "Make a todo list"
- "Add due dates to tasks"
- "Let me organize tasks into projects"
- "Add a daily summary email"
Build up gradually.
