Iterate the right way (2–3 changes at a time)
Goal. Refine the app the way Lovable recommends — small, testable batches — and use free inline text edits.
Add a search box above the task columns that filters tasks by title, and add a small count badge to each column header.
Keep each request small and focused. Lovable's docs put it as "the smaller the part, the smarter the response" — piling many unrelated changes into one prompt makes the result worse.
- 1Send the prompt above (two related changes), review the result, then continue with the next small batch.
- 2For wording tweaks, use the preview toolbar's inline text edit — point at text and edit it directly. Inline text edits are free up to 100/day, so they don't burn credits.
- 3Avoid giant 'do everything' prompts — build the app's core screens in small, verifiable steps.
You'll see. The app growing reliably, change by change, with copy tweaks made for free via the toolbar.
Cost. Chat builds use credits; inline text edits are free (≤100/day). Batch logic changes; use the toolbar for text.
Takeaway. Incremental, scoped requests are how you get good output from a chat builder — and how you protect your daily credits.
