Build an AI-Powered Calorie Tracking WebApp
Build an AI-Powered Calorie Tracking WebApp
Setting Up the Foundation
- Review the navigation setup and landing page design.
- Iterate on the prompt to refine the layout and ensure mobile responsiveness.
Designing the UI
- Start with scaffolding: Plan your app structure (e.g., user experience flow, page layout).
- Add the first layer: Create empty pages with basic design elements.
- Refine the details: Add colors, animations, and mobile responsiveness.
Integrate Supabase for Backend and Authentication
- Set up a Supabase account and create a project.
- Link it to Lovable by pressing the “Connect Supabase” button.
- For data storage, Lovable will generate SQL tables. For instance:
- A
profiles
table to store user information. - A
meals
table linked to users for tracking daily entries.
Integrating OpenAI for Meal Analysis
- Obtain an OpenAI API key from your developer dashboard.
- Use GPT-4 for analyzing meal descriptions or images.
- Ensure API keys are securely stored in Edge functions to prevent unauthorized access.
- Analyze meal descriptions: Estimate nutritional values (calories, protein, carbs, fat).
- Image recognition: Upload a meal photo, and GPT-4 will extract a description and nutritional data.
- Use function calling for structured responses, ensuring data is formatted correctly for database insertion.
- Test the functionality by asking the app to analyze simple meal entries like “2 eggs.”
Implementing Payments with Stripe
- Create a Stripe account and set up a product (e.g., “Standard Plan” for $12/month).
- Integrate Stripe with Lovable by adding the API key and product price ID.
- Redirect non-paying users to the landing page. Only paying users can access the main app.
- Enable Stripe’s customer portal to let users manage subscriptions (e.g., cancel or update payment methods).
- Test payments in Stripe’s test mode using the provided test credit card details.
Testing and Debugging
- Use the “Try to Fix” button whenever a build error occurs.
- For backend issues, check Supabase logs for detailed error reports.
- If deploying to Netlify, review deployment logs for any build issues. Share logs with Lovable to get tailored fixes.
Deploying Your App
- Use Lovable’s deploy feature to host the app on a default domain.
- For custom domains:
- Connect your GitHub repository to Netlify.
- Purchase a domain and configure DNS settings to link it to Netlify.

- Interactive hover effects where images react to user movements.
How to Implement Animated Effects
To create these effects, users followed this simple process:- Define the desired animation:
- Use p5.js to generate effects:
- Implement a chromatic smoke pattern.
- Swap out static images for dynamic flag animations.
- Enhance user experience with physics-based interactions:
- Make elements move dynamically based on user actions.
Importing Custom Elements from External Libraries
- Browse 21st.dev for a button design.
- Copy the AI-generated prompt.
- Paste it into Lovable and replace an existing button.
