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.

After putting in significant effort to build Videco, my co-founder and I have parted ways due to differences in vision and commitment. While these situations are never easy, they serve as valuable learning experiences.
Key lessons I ve learned:
Professionalism matters more than personal relationships
Aligned vision and commitment are non-negotiable
Always have clear agreements in place things don t always go as planned
Mutual respect when things go sideway
With that in mind, I m now launching a new venture in the same industry, bringing forward the lessons learned and a renewed focus on building something even stronger.

That said, I m proud of what I ve accomplished through my own efforts. Here are the numbers I reached with my personal work:
#1 ProductHunt of the Day, #1 Marketing Tool of the Month
+500 demo's with ICP and partners
Went forward with SaaStock Pitch Competition 2024, and B2B Rocks 2024
+100k impressions and 2k clicks
Ranked Google 1st page as alternative for prime competitors
Now its time to 100x that with a better product and vibes! Onward and upward!
