How to write prompts that build better apps (with 14 examples)

Build an online store selling abayas called [store name]. The interface is Arabic-first and RTL, with an English option. Products have: name, photos, price in SAR, sizes (S to XXL), colors, and stock quantity. I need a cart, payment with mada and Apple Pay, and a buy-now-pay-later option with Tabby. Sign-in with phone number and OTP. An owner dashboard to add products and track orders by status (new, preparing, shipped, delivered). Start with a first version without coupons.

Create a store selling digital courses and files [templates, e-books]. After a successful payment, the customer gets a download link in their account and by email. Each product has a description, image, price and file. I want a My Purchases page for customers and a simple daily sales report for the owner. Payment with mada and Apple Pay. Never allow a download before payment is confirmed.

Build a booking app for [salon name] in [city]. The customer picks a service, then a stylist, then an available day and time. Each service has a different duration set by the owner. The same stylist can never have overlapping appointments. Send a confirmation message and a reminder two hours before the appointment. An owner dashboard shows today's schedule per stylist, with the ability to cancel or move an appointment. The interface is fully Arabic.

I want an app for booking five-a-side football pitches in [district]. Bookings are hourly, and prices differ for mornings, evenings and weekends. Prepayment is required via mada or Apple Pay. Show available slots as a weekly grid. Add a cancellation policy: full refund up to 24 hours before, no refund after. A manager dashboard shows daily occupancy and revenue.

Build a digital menu for [restaurant name] that opens from a QR code on each table. Guests see items grouped by category with photos, prices and calories. They can add notes (no onions, extra spicy). Orders go straight to a kitchen screen with the table number. The kitchen screen lists orders in sequence, and each can be marked Ready. Arabic and English.

Create a pre-order app for [café name] with two branches. The customer picks a branch, drink, size and milk type, pays online, and gets an estimated pickup time. Add a simple loyalty program: every 10 drinks earns a free one. A barista screen shows new orders for each branch separately.

Build a delivery app for [grocery name]. Customers browse products, add them to a cart, pin their location on a map and choose a preferred delivery time. Minimum order is [amount]. Pay online or cash on delivery. Drivers get a simple screen with their assigned orders and a button to update status (on the way, delivered). Customers see their order status in real time.

I want an internal tool for a small delivery company. A supervisor enters orders (address, customer phone, cash-on-delivery amount) and assigns them to drivers. Each driver signs in with their phone number and sees only today's orders. At the end of the day, a report per driver shows delivered orders and cash collected. Drivers never see each other's orders.

Build an internal leave-request tool for a company of [number] employees. An employee submits a request (type, from date, to date, note). Their direct manager approves or rejects with a reason. Each employee sees their remaining balance. HR gets a monthly report that can be exported. Three roles: employee, manager, HR, and each role sees only what it needs.

Create a simple inventory system for three branches. Each item has a name, code, quantity per branch and a reorder threshold. When stock falls below the threshold, an alert appears on the manager dashboard. Staff can record transfers between branches, with a log of who moved what and when. A simple Arabic interface that works well on mobile, because staff use it inside the warehouse.

Build a learning platform for [subject] courses in Arabic. Each course has video lessons, text, attachments and a short quiz at the end. Students see their progress as a percentage. Passing the quiz at [70%] generates a PDF certificate with their name. Payment is per course. Instructors get a dashboard to add lessons and track enrollments.

I want an app to track students in a Quran memorization circle. Each day the teacher records for each student: the portion memorized, revision, and a rating (excellent, good, needs review). Parents sign in with their phone number and see only their own child's progress, with a weekly chart. The app sends parents a weekly summary. Arabic interface with a clear, readable font.

When I book an appointment on mobile and go back to the home page, the booking doesn't appear under My Appointments until I refresh. It should appear immediately. Fix this and test the same scenario on mobile.

Add discount coupons to the store: the owner creates a coupon (code, percentage or fixed amount, expiry date, usage limit). The coupon is applied on the checkout page and the discount is shown before confirmation. Don't change anything else on the checkout page.
