A prompt to build your own version of Podium

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Podium-style app, first version

Build a web app for my small business to text customers, request Google reviews and send payment links. The main screen should have a customer conversation list on the left and the selected text thread on the right. Show the customer's name and phone number above the thread. Let me type a message, tap Request Review to preview a message with my Google review link, and tap Request Payment to enter an amount and preview a payment link. Show pending or paid beside payment requests. Use a clean white and blue design with clear buttons. Start with realistic sample customers, conversations and simulated sending and payments.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.
