How to Iterate on a Project Using Prompts
Div-idy projects are built in iterations. Your first prompt creates the first version of the app, and every prompt after that makes changes to the current version. Then you can prompt again to change the changed version—iteration after iteration.
Quick Answer
The first prompt builds the first iteration of your project. After that, every prompt you write is treated as an update to the current project—not a brand-new build. You’re always improving the latest version, one prompt at a time.
Prompt #1 = build the first version.
Prompt #2 = change the first version.
Prompt #3 = change the changed version.
And so on… (iterations).
Step-by-Step
Write your first prompt (the initial build)
This is where you describe what you want to create from scratch.
Example prompt:
Create a simple habit tracker web app with add/edit/delete habits,
a dashboard summary, and local storage.Write your next prompt (the first update)
Now you’re not rebuilding—you’re improving. Add features, change layout, change styling, etc.
Example prompt:
Add a calendar view and allow users to mark habits as complete each day.
Also improve the design with a clean header and better spacing.Keep iterating
Each prompt builds on the latest version.
Example prompt:
Add filters for "Active" and "Completed".
Add a progress chart for the last 7 days.
Make the UI mobile-friendly.Use prompts for polish (the “final 20%”)
Once the app works, prompts are great for cleaning up UI and improving user experience.
Polish prompt ideas:
- Make buttons consistent sizes and add hover states.
- Improve typography and spacing.
- Add empty states (no data yet).
- Add loading indicators and success messages.If something breaks, prompt a fix
Describe the issue and what you expected to happen.
Fix prompt example:
When I click “Save”, nothing happens and the new habit doesn’t show.
Fix the save logic and show a small success message after saving.Prompt Examples You Can Copy
Add a feature
Describe what you want added and where.
Add a search bar at the top that filters items as the user types.
Place it under the header and keep the UI responsive.Change the design
Describe style changes in plain English.
Update the UI to look more modern:
use a card layout, increase spacing, improve typography,
and add subtle hover effects on buttons.Fix a bug
Tell Div-idy what’s wrong and what should happen.
The “Delete” button removes the wrong item sometimes.
Fix the delete logic so it always deletes the correct record.
After deleting, show a small toast notification.
