How to build an app people can pay for in 7 days for under $100.

You're my app-building coach. I've never coded. Explain things like I'm 12.

My app: [WHAT IT DOES]
Who it's for: [YOUR CUSTOMERS]
How I'll charge: [PRICE OR FREE]
Other apps it connects to: [NONE OR LIST]

Ask me up to 5 questions, one at a time.

Then create a simple project rulebook explaining my app, tools, budget, and 7-day plan. Save it in this project and tell me how to reuse it. Don't make me install anything complicated.

Rules:
- Give me one step at a time.
- Wait until I say "done."
- Choose free options first.
- Never ask for passwords or secret keys.
- Check costs and outside approvals early.
- Test everything before real customers use it.

Tell me exactly what we'll finish on Day 1.

Using our project rulebook, help me build version 1 of my app.

Its ONE main job: [MAIN FEATURE]

Do this in order:
1. Explain our plan in 5 simple steps.
2. Check if my idea needs paid tools, special permission, or approval from another company. If so, explain before building.
3. Build the screens people will use.
4. Add a free database only if needed. Explain what that means.
5. If users need accounts, make sure they can only see their own private information.
6. Make it work on phones.
7. Test the main feature and fix errors.

Use the simplest safe setup. Explain what I need to click. Keep extra ideas for version 2.

Help me publish my app using GitHub and Netlify.

Walk me through:
1. Creating a free GitHub account and private code repository.
2. Saving my working code there.
3. Connecting GitHub to a free Netlify site.
4. Setting up any required private keys in Netlify environment variables. Never put them in public code or ask me to paste them here.
5. Checking that private information stays private.
6. Opening my Netlify link on my phone and testing the main feature.

If the free plan has limits or anything costs money, warn me first.

Explain every step like I'm 12.

Help me choose and connect a domain.

My app: [APP DESCRIPTION]
My preferred name: [NAME OR UNSURE]

1. Suggest 10 short names.
2. Help me check .com availability and social handles. Don't guess.
3. Compare prices, including renewal costs.
4. Help me buy a domain only after I approve the price.
5. Connect it to Netlify.
6. Turn on free HTTPS (the secure lock).
7. Show me how to check that everything works.

Keep the domain around $12 if possible. If that's unrealistic, explain my options. Don't buy anything for me.

Help me accept payments using Stripe.

My price: [PRICE]
Payment type: [ONE TIME / MONTHLY]

Walk me through:
1. Creating Stripe and checking its fees and business requirements.
2. Starting in TEST MODE with fake money.
3. Creating my product and checkout link.
4. Connecting checkout to my app.
5. Setting up a secure webhook so my app confirms payment with Stripe before unlocking paid access.
6. Making sure one customer cannot unlock another customer's account.
7. Setting up the customer portal for billing details and subscription cancellations, if needed.
8. Testing successful payments, failed payments, refunds, and cancellations.
9. Switching to live payments only after tests pass.

Explain webhooks and every new word like I'm 12. Never ask me to paste secret keys into chat. Tell me exactly where they go.

Review my app like a team of 8 experts.

App: [YOUR LINK]
Price: [YOUR PRICE]
Customer: [WHO IT HELPS]

My experts:
1. Developer: What could break?
2. Security expert: Is customer data safe?
3. Rules expert: Am I following platform and privacy rules?
4. Tester: What happens with mistakes, failed payments, or lots of users?
5. Social media manager: What's my launch strategy?
6. Video expert: Give me 3 strong video hooks.
7. Community manager: Write my comment and DM replies.
8. Growth marketer: How do I find my first 10 paying customers?

Have them challenge each other.

Then:
- Give me a checklist to test with a friend's account, with their permission.
- Include payment, privacy, phone, and account tests.
- Tell me the 5 biggest fixes, in order.
- Write a 30-second launch video.
- Give me a simple plan to find my first 10 customers.

If something isn't safe or working, tell me NOT to launch yet. Don't pretend you tested something you couldn't access.
