I found other apps that solves this pain point. But all of them has one thing it was hard for me to test

But, if you have a subscription model, at least let the users to test your service and decide if they want to pay. All the apps I've downloaded to test, blocked me to use, asking for my credit card or to subscribe right away. No 3-7 days to try. I decided to do it differently, 100% free.

I did not design a single element on Figma. All the adjustments were screenshots and pointing out what to change
I let Lovable handle the creativity. My focus was on the product, to build something useful. I knew that Lovable was capable enough to build an UI that was useful enough. The only think I asked in the first prompt was to pay attention to accessibility.
