I would love to have an opening loading screen to my app, that displays a random quote each time the user opens the app. Is this possible?

Please provide very simple very specific instructions.

You can use AI  
or you can have a table with as many random quotes you want and select one in random every time.

I understand but how do I get them to appear on the main screen. How do I implement this feature?

I have a table with all the quotes I want to rotate through.

Add a one row table. Add a single value random column to the one row table and target the quotes column in your quotes table.

Make the source of the Home Screen the one row table.

Add a text component to the Home Screen and use the single value column.

If you get that working you could try below for some flair 😉
