Prototype a SaaS dashboard
Before PromptDC
Build me a SaaS analytics dashboard.
After PromptDC
Build a Vite React dashboard for subscription analytics. Use TypeScript, Tailwind, Recharts, and local mock data. Views: overview, customers, and revenue with working navigation. Show MRR, churn, trials, and a six-month revenue chart. Add skeletons and responsive layouts from 360px upward.
Why this is better: Bolt.new gets the stack, routes, metrics, data boundary, and responsive target.
Connect a Supabase waitlist
Before PromptDC
Make the waitlist actually work.
After PromptDC
Connect the existing waitlist form to Supabase. Store email, source, and created_at in a waitlist table. Show a friendly inline response for duplicate emails. Keep the service-role key server-side and document env vars. Verify success, invalid, duplicate, and network-error paths.
Why this is better: Backend schema, security boundary, and interaction states are all defined.
Fix mobile navigation
Before PromptDC
The menu is broken on phones. Fix it.
After PromptDC
Fix the mobile menu in src/components/Header.tsx. Below 768px, open it as a focus-trapped dialog. Close on Escape, overlay click, route choice, and resize. Prevent background scroll and restore trigger focus. Do not change desktop navigation or add a UI library.
Why this is better: Observable behavior, accessibility, scope, and constraints replace the vague bug report.
