Last week we announced Netlify Database. The blog post used this prompt as the example: "I want an app to manage my list of mythical creatures." Here are 8 more prompts you can paste into the start page and ship before lunch. 🧵 netlify.com/blog/netlify-database

"Build a public 'what's the best advice you ever got' app. Anyone can submit a one-liner. Display them all as a scrollable wall of wisdom, newest at the top." Auth optional. Vibes immaculate.

"Create an app for managing my music collection. Each entry needs artist, year, genre, and format (CD or vinyl). Let me search by artist and edit any entry." The classic CRUD, but yours.

"Build a roommate expenses app where anyone snaps a receipt photo, AI extracts the line items and total, and a live balance shows who owes whom. Magic-link login per household." Splitwise, but you own the database.

"Photograph the inside of my fridge and AI generates a week of dinners using only what's already there, plus a tiny shopping list for the missing essentials." Your sad Tuesday produce drawer has potential.

"Build a D&D campaign wiki that grows itself. Players paste session notes after each game, and AI extracts characters, locations, items, and plot threads into an illustrated wiki the whole party shares." Niche, but the niche will love you.

"Create a daily outfit-rating app where my group uploads selfies, an AI fashion editor delivers a savage 1-10 verdict, and a weekly leaderboard crowns whoever dressed best." Group chat energy, productized.

"Build a 'group chat archaeologist'. I upload an iMessage or WhatsApp export and AI generates an interactive timeline of the inside jokes, the drama, and a friendship arc graph for each person." We all have the export. We all want the graph.
