The prompt

The exact prompt that built this app. Give it to your agent to build the app from scratch with Elements, or use it to compare what other tools make from the same ask.

Build an issue tracker named tickwell for a software team.

Two kinds of accounts: admin and member. Admins manage projects and invite
members. Everyone works on issues.

- Invite by email: an admin enters an address, the invitee gets a link to set
  a password.
- Projects have a short key (WEB). Issues get numbered keys (WEB-12).
- Issue: title, markdown description, status (backlog, todo, in progress,
  in review, done), priority (low, medium, high, urgent), assignee, labels.
- Board per project: a column per status, drag a card to change its status.
- List view: filter by status, assignee, priority and label, plus text search.
- Issue detail: comment thread and a history of every change.
- Email the assignee when an issue is assigned to them and when someone
  comments on it.
- Import issues from a Jira CSV export (columns Summary, Description, Status,
  Priority, Assignee).

Seed one admin, two members, two projects and a dozen issues across statuses.
Show the seeded logins on the sign-in page.

Board moves, new issues and comments update in real time.
