Have an idea but no clue how to build it? Start here. 🧵
You don't need to know everything before you start.
This is the process I'd follow if I were starting from zero:
💡 1. Brainstorm the idea
Take your idea to ChatGPT or any AI you use. Don't worry about making it perfect — just get it out.
🗣️ 2. Have a Q&A with the AI
Ask questions, challenge the idea, explore different directions and keep going until you actually understand what you want to build.
📝 3. Turn the idea into a proper prompt
Once the direction is clear, ask the AI to turn everything into a detailed build prompt.
Include features, style, flow, goals and anything else that matters.
🔄 4. Keep iterating on the prompt
Read it. Change things. Add what’s missing. Remove what you don't want.
Don't rush into building with a vague prompt.
🚀 5. Give that prompt to your building tool(e.g Workbuddy - already make a thread on it)
Use whatever works for you. And if your project needs specific visuals, references or files, give those to the tool too.
🛠️ 6. Get your first version
It will probably not be perfect. That's completely fine.
🔁 7. This is where the real work begins
Test it yourself. Find what feels wrong. Fix it. Improve it. Add things. Remove things. Repeat.
idea → brainstorm → Q&A → prompt → build → test → iterate → ship
You don't need to be an expert before starting.
You just need to get that first version out.
Everything after that is learning. 🫡
