Lovable sometimes generates desktop-first layouts without proper responsive breakpoints. Elements with fixed widths overflow on smaller screens. Start with "Tell Lovable to fix mobile" before making broader code changes.

You're in the right place if...

My app looks broken on mobile. Please:
1. Fix all overflow issues on mobile screens
2. Make all buttons at least 44px tall (Apple minimum tap target)
3. Add proper padding on mobile (min 16px sides)
4. Fix any text that overflows its container on small screens
5. Test on 375px width (iPhone SE)

Use Tailwind responsive prefixes (sm:, md:, lg:) throughout.
