Building it in Lovable
In Lovable, you a chat-driven full-stack builder. It scaffolds the component plus its surrounding app quickly, best when your product is web-first with a mobile view. The fastest path is not to hand-place every element from scratch, but to give the builder a real chat design to match. A vague prompt produces a generic screen; a concrete reference produces one you would ship.
That is what VP0 is for: a free library of iOS app designs built for AI builders, where every design has a machine-readable source page your tool can read from a pasted link. Pair it with Lovable and the first generation matches a proven layout.
