Hey PH community, I counted yesterday. 23 different apps before noon. Slack, Notion, ChatGPT, Figma, Google Sheets, email, Trello... and about 15 Chrome tabs I never closed from yesterday. By lunch I was exhausted and my actual work was still sitting there unfinished. The thing is, we all do this. We've normalized digital whack-a-mole. We have AI that can generate images and write code in seconds. But somehow we're still the ones doing all the clicking and switching. The AI just sits in a chat window waiting for us to feed it context. That felt backwards. So we built HappyCapy basically a computer where the AI can actually DO stuff, not just tell you what to do. Generate images, edit docs, crunch numbers, build sites. Whatever. You just describe what you need and it handles the tool-hopping. We're not replacing your main computer. But for a lot of tasks, it's way faster to just delegate to an agent that gets it done. It's live now. Still rough in places. But if you're tired of being an unpaid assistant to your own AI assistant, it might click. Curious: how many apps are you juggling right now? What's driving you most crazy about it?
Quick background: we're the team behind Trickle.so, where we help people build apps and websites with AI. We've been deep in the AI tooling space for a while now, and something kept bugging us.
Trickle Magic Canvas - the world’s 1st agentic canvas where you can co-create with AI, visually, to ship production-ready apps & websites. It‘s a visual space for context engineering, where the agent better understands your intentions & builds multi-page apps.
Trickle helps you summarize and organize screenshots, extracting insights for easy search and query. Transform visual chaos into an intelligent archive, allowing you to screenshot anything and effortlessly retrieve and utilize its contents later.
Trickle is an all-in-one tool that empowers everyone to build, launch, and manage powerful, beautiful AI agents, web apps, and forms. With built-in database, AI models, analytics, and designs, Trickle turns ideas into ready-to-use apps from concept to reality.
Infuse the power of AI into your workflow and seamlessly integrate over 200 ready-to-use prompts into your daily tasks, all in one place, streamlining your thinking process and helping you achieve more in less time.
Prompting is everything in the age of vibe coding. Knowing how to guide AI precisely and efficiently is the key to getting the results you want. Today, I m sharing some of my favorite prompting tips, plus a handy cheatsheet I put together.
Prompting Tips That Actually Work
Be spatially specific. Use keywords like "left", "right", "centered", "aligned to bottom", "spaced evenly" to help the model place elements correctly.
Mention device behavior. If it should behave differently on mobile vs desktop, say so. Ex: "stacks on mobile, grid on desktop".
Use visual vocabulary. Mention familiar UI terms like "modal", "toast", "card", "hero section", or "split view" to tap into known design structures.
Give UX intent. Add the why: "Add white space for readability", "Add a hover effect for feedback", "Use a progress bar to show completion".
Sequence your ideas. For complex prompts, list in steps: "First, add a header. Below that, place a form with two inputs...". AI loves structure.
Say what not to do. If you want to avoid scrollbars, animations, shadows, etc., say so.
Don t forget empty states. Great design considers what happens when nothing is there say "show a placeholder when list is empty".
Test prompt variants. Swap words like "tile" vs "card", "modal" vs "popup" to see which gives cleaner structure.
Use active voice. Start with a verb: "Add", "Place", "Make", "Create", "Animate", "Style". It helps guide generation.
