How to Use Your Templates

Step 1: Access an AI Code Generator

You'll need an AI tool that can generate code from JSON specifications. I currently tested them all on Lovable, but feel free to try them on the platform you prefer

Step 2: Prepare Your Files

For each app you want to create:

  1. Using the Attach icon upload file for the app you want (e.g., calculator.json), guidelines.md and Screenshot.jpg
  2. type the prompt follow instructions in the attached json file
  3. Click the arrow button to generate

Step 4: Get Your App

  1. The AI will generate a complete HTML file
  2. Copy the generated code
  3. Save it as an .html file (e.g., calculator.html)
  4. Double-click the file to open it in your browser
  5. Start using your app immediately!

Step 5: Customize (Optional)

Once you have your app, you can ask the AI to:

  • Change colors and styling
  • Add new features
  • Modify functionality
  • Adjust the layout
  • Add your company branding

Simply describe what you want to change and paste the current code back to the AI.


Tips for Best Results

Getting High-Quality Apps:

  • Always include the guidelines.md content - it ensures clean, professional code
  • Reference the Screenshot.jpg to see the expected layout
  • Be specific if you want customizations
  • Test your apps in different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

Customization Ideas:

  • Branding: Add your company logo and colors
  • Features: Request additional functionality specific to your needs
  • Integration: Ask the AI to add data export/import features
  • Accessibility: Request enhanced accessibility features for users with disabilities

Troubleshooting:

  • App doesn't work? Make sure you saved it as an .html file, not .txt
  • Styling looks off? Check your internet connection (Tailwind CSS loads from CDN)
  • Feature missing? Go back to the AI and ask it to add the feature
  • Need help? Paste the error message to the AI and ask for a fix

Advanced Usage

Combining Apps:

You can ask the AI to combine multiple templates into one unified dashboard. For example:

Please combine the Expense Manager, Customer CRM, and Appointment Scheduler 
into a single dashboard application with tabs to switch between them.

Adding Data Persistence:

Ask the AI to add browser storage:

Please modify this app to save all data to the browser's localStorage 
so that my data persists when I close and reopen the app.

Exporting Data:

Request export functionality:

Please add a feature to export all data as a CSV file that I can 
open in Excel or Google Sheets.
