The idea

Park friends groups and land trusts get a shared map of invasive plant patches with photos and size. Volunteers claim a patch, log removal and return later to check regrowth. Coordinated weeding actually keeps natural areas healthy.

Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web and mobile app called Invasive Plant Spotter. An admin creates a site with a boundary and a list of target species. Volunteers join the site and can add a patch with GPS point, species, estimated size and photo.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Add a claim and removal flow: a volunteer claims a patch, logs a removal with date, hours and bags removed, and sets a recheck date. Show patches on a map colored by status (new, claimed, removed, regrowth).

PROMPT 3 OF 3

Send email or push reminders when a recheck date arrives. Add an admin dashboard with volunteer hours, patches cleared per species and a season report to share with funders. Add Stripe for site plans.
