Day 5 of building my SaaS in public - and today we're designing and
building the actual application interface.
We have a landing page. Now we need something to SHOW prospects -
something they can click through, visualize, and give feedback on.
What I built with Lovable:
• Dashboard with key metrics and value delivered
• Reports showing client, time, and dollar value
• Integration management (Outlook, Fathom)
• Client list
• Settings, account, and billing sections
The surprise: Lovable added a billing rate field I didn't ask for.
Now the dashboard shows "$4,250 recovered" - not just hours.
That's demonstrated ROI. That's how you sell.
What you'll learn:
• How to scope your V1 (what to include, what to skip)
• The prompt framework for app design with AI
• Working with AI like a designer (guidelines + creative freedom)
• Using your prototype to get feedback from prospects
