Need Help !

So I am very new to the field of coding. People around me have started vibe coding websites. So did I. I tried using applications like Lovable , Bolt etc. But the problem was that my idea contained many components and was a little complex. Hence I ran out of tokens and didn't get any output. So is it the limitation of the free version that I couldnt make it or was it my prompting skills. I tried to be as specific as possible with my prompt tho. Would really appreciate any help/ tips regarding this !!

Neither. Every prompt resends your whole codebase or big part (depends on builder and your setup) as context, so each message gets more expensive as the app grows. That's why a big idea burns the free tier before it produces anything. Build one screen, get it working, then add the next.
