Creative Prompt
I want to build my first web app using AI coding tools. Suggest 5 simple but useful app ideas I can complete in 2-4 hours. Focus on tools that:
- Solve everyday problems people actually face
- Work entirely in the browser (no backend needed)
- Are delightful to use and shareable
- Can be built with React/Next.js and existing libraries
Think beyond typical developer tools. Consider productivity, wellness, creativity, decision-making, or fun utilities.Practical Prompt
