Open Build an app
Click the plus button at the bottom right and choose Build an app. The panel holds one button: *Start — tell me your idea*. That opens the intake: six short questions without a shred of technical jargon.
The six questions
- What are we making? Pick whatever comes closest: webshop, bookings, website, blog, member portal, tool, game or something else.
- Tell me about your idea. The name, what it should do and for whom, and the single most important visitor action.
- Zooming in. Targeted follow-up questions that differ per app type.
- How should it feel? A look and a main colour.
- Final questions. E-mails, special wishes.
- Is this right? Everything listed one more time.
The more concrete you are about *what* you want to track or sell, the better the result. You never need to say anything about *how* it should be built.
Build my app
On the last step you click Build my app. From then on Mia takes over completely: she writes the plan, builds the public app plus an admin panel, and tests everything herself. A few minutes later your app sits on your home screen as an icon — ready to use.
Frequently asked questions
What if I do not know an answer?
Only the questions with an asterisk are required. Skip the rest; you can always refine later.
How long does building take?
Usually a few minutes. Large apps with many screens take longer — you follow the progress live in the strip on the left.
