About

Hverdag (Danish for ‘everyday’) turns chores into a weekly board the whole family can see. Kids tick things off, earn stars and swap tasks with each other. Parents get a calm overview, not a nagging app.

I'm a teacher and don't write code. Every screen was described to Lovable in plain Danish, and the prompts are all shared below.

Build a mobile app called Hverdag: a shared chore list for families that kids actually use.

What it does

Hverdag (Danish for ‘everyday’) turns chores into a weekly board the whole family can see. Kids tick things off, earn stars and swap tasks with each other. Parents get a calm overview, not a nagging app.

Stack

Use React, Supabase. The original was built with Lovable and Claude in 2 weeks, for about $40 in AI usage.

How it fits together

  • A mobile app with three or four screens and a tab bar
  • A backend for sync and accounts
  • Push notifications only where they help

Build it in this order

  1. Design the main screen for the youngest or least technical user
  2. Build the screens with sample data
  3. Add accounts and sync
  4. Add the one notification that matters
  5. Test it with a real person and fix what confuses them

A prompt that worked: Describe a screen for a nine-year-old

Make the ‘My week’ screen for a child aged 7 to 11. Big tap targets, one task per row with an illustration, and a star counter at the top. When a task is done, it should feel like a small celebration but not a slot machine. No text longer than five words per row. Use friendly colours but not more than three.

Watch out for

  • Big tap targets and short labels; people use it with one hand
  • It should work offline and sync later

Done when

  • The main task takes three taps or fewer
  • It works offline
  • A first-time user gets it without help

Before writing code, ask me up to five questions about who this home & family mobile app is for and what the first version must do. Then work in small steps: after each one, tell me how to try it and wait for my feedback.

    Built my own version from the recipe in an evening. The build log is the most useful part for me, I'd love more detail on how you structured week two.

    Love how focused this is. One thing: the empty state took me a second to understand. Maybe show an example right away?

      Thanks! Good question, I'll write it up in the build log this week.
