🗕️ New post every Monday

🎨 Why Visual Prompt Design Matters

Prompt engineering doesn’t have to be text-only or code-heavy. Today, powerful no-code tools allow you to design, trigger, and connect prompts visually using simple blocks, fields, and flows.

  • Drag-and-drop interfaces reduce human error
  • Inputs can be dynamically passed to prompt templates
  • Output logic can be reused across different use cases
  • Non-developers can build intelligent apps visually

This blog explores how to do it right — with examples, templates, and real platform walkthroughs.

🔧 Anatomy of a Visual Prompt Block

ComponentPurpose
🔢 Input FieldCaptures dynamic user input (text, image, number)
🧠 Prompt TemplateCombines static instructions with dynamic placeholders
🔄 LLM SettingsConfigure temperature, length, stop tokens, etc.
📄 Output BlockDisplays or routes response to next action

🤜 Step-by-Step: Building a Visual Prompt Flow in Lovable

🔹 Use Case: Resume Review Bot

  1. Input Field: A text area asking users to paste their resume
  2. Prompt Template:
    Act as a hiring manager. Review the following resume and suggest 3 improvements. Return in bullet points. Resume: [resume_text]
  3. LLM Config:
    • Temperature: 0.4 (for clarity and seriousness)
    • Max Tokens: 250
  4. Output Display: Response shown in styled div + copy to clipboard button
  5. Optional: Save to database or trigger email response

All these blocks are available in Lovable's visual workflow editor.

⚖️ Dynamic Prompt Variables

Visual prompt systems shine when they let you dynamically insert user data.

  • Use brackets in prompts: [name], [topic], [feedback]
  • Bind them to form fields, dropdowns, uploads, toggles, etc.
  • Useful for personalization, multi-user workflows, and logic branching

🪧 Modular Prompt Components

Instead of one massive prompt, break your flow into components:

  • Prompt 1: Classify user input (e.g., topic detector)
  • Prompt 2: Generate draft (based on detected topic)
  • Prompt 3: Rewrite or format with tone/style

This enables reusability, easier debugging, and flexibility.

⚙️ Tools That Support Visual Prompting

PlatformVisual Prompt Support
Lovable✅ Full support (prompt blocks, variables, memory, chaining)
Bubble.io✅ Via plugin + API blocks
Thunkable✅ Via AI logic block + API call
Glide✅ Via AI column and computed field
Zapier✅ Prompt-enabled task flows

📈 Exercise of the Week

Build a mini-app with a single user prompt connected to:

  • An input form (e.g., "Describe your business idea")
  • A prompt that returns 3 brand name suggestions
  • Output displayed with buttons for copying/saving

Bonus: Try reusing the same prompt in a second workflow (e.g., tweet writer).

The behind-the-scenes story of how we chose our tech stack, what went wrong, and why we changed course

The Tech Stack We Chose (And Why We Switched Midway) The Tech Stack We Chose (And Why We Switched Midway) By Rexman Published: 13/06/2025 – Behind the Scenes Series #2 🧠 The Master Plan Choosing a tech stack was easy. Or so we thought. We had a Notion page comparing Postgres vs Mongo, Firebase vs Supabase, React vs Vue vs SvelteKit. We were acting like we were choosing our life partner — when really, we just needed a stack that wouldn’t break in 3 weeks. We picked: Frontend: React Native with Expo Backend: Supabase (Postgres + Auth) Storage: Supabase Storage AI integration: Claude (Anthropic) Deployment: Vercel 💥 Reality Bites Week 1 was smooth. By Week 2, cracks appeared. Supabase’s Postgres was fine… until our expensive queries choked it. React Native was okay, but we hit prop-passing hell fast. Claude integration was awesome… until we realized we needed more dynamic prompt chaining a...
