Garden Manager
My dad is really good with plants. Unfortunately, I am not. :) This summer was very hot and dry in Germany, so I though, let's build an app which helps me to take care of our garden and the plants we have in there. I want to know when I should water them, when best to cut them and what else I should be aware of about my plants. I don't even know how they are called, so really needed help from scratch (image based recognition of my plants first to get the names and then all the details for them).

Best way to implement a new web app
From my experience, the best way to implement an app from scratch is like this:
Claude: Chat with Claude about your idea and get prompts for Lovable.
Lovable: Build the foundation and core features with Lovable.
Claude Code: Fine-tune and build more features with Claude Code (source code available through Git Hub)
Attached are the first 4 prompts I used to create this app.
Orchestrating all integrations
This app really uses a lot of services in the background and the key thing here was to orchestrate it all together.
I'm using these services here (beside the usual suspects Claude Code and Lovable):
Google Maps: To get a satellite image from my home and garden. I cn draw my bets in here and it will calculate their size.
Pl@ntNet API: To identify the plant from an image and get some details about it.
Wikipedia and Anthropic API: To enhance the details more based on plant name.
Surprisingly, they are working very well together and I wasn't facing any major issues in connecting it all together.
