Your First Shipped App
Describe a small app in plain English, build it in Lovable, and put it on a real web address in about an hour.
About this course
Who this is for
You have never written code and you would like to build something real. That is the only requirement. If you can explain what you want to a person, you can explain it to the tools in this course.
What you will do
You will pick one small, useful idea, write a half-page plan, and build it in Lovable by describing it. The app will save what people type into it, and it will live at a web address you can send to anyone. Most people finish in 60 to 90 minutes.
How it runs
Twelve short lessons in five modules. Every lesson has written steps with prompts you can copy; some also have a short video. Each lesson ends with a two-question check-in. Finish all twelve and your certificate is issued on the spot.

- One hour with the door closed
