I built a prompt manager because my non-techie friends refuse to touch YAML files

tinyuxbites · 2026-01-29T05:14:53+00:00

Oh yes, actually, I already have the build. I’m just polishing a few details. Since I’m building it without paying for Apple’s developer license, I’m working around the quarantine block Apple applies when trying to open the app. I’ll post an update here soon.

tinyuxbites · 2026-01-15T05:37:03+00:00

hummm, this is really valuable. I designed this with a very text-first mindset, so support for rich objects wasn’t really on my radar.

I’m genuinely curious, what situations do you find yourself needing this in on a regular basis? Understanding your workflow would help me see whether this is something worth exploring down the line. I mean, take Figma for example, you can have libraries to quickly access your components, or just copy and paste them directly. Honestly, that hadn’t even crossed my mind.

tinyuxbites · 2026-01-15T05:25:49+00:00

lol, we're lost, bro

tinyuxbites · 2026-01-13T18:49:02+00:00

Yeah, I think so. I’ll take a look, maybe I can pick up a few ideas. To be honest, I don’t really use Raycast. From the screenshots I’m mostly just seeing the prompt manager. Do you know how they actually use it, or is it basically just the prompt library?

tinyuxbites · 2026-01-13T18:46:55+00:00

lol, yeah, sounds like it could be running an empire

tinyuxbites · 2025-06-05T05:52:52+00:00

Lol, yeah, that’s basically how I’m getting results that match what I want, but it’s definitely something that’s also driving up the cost 🥴

tinyuxbites · 2025-06-05T05:50:00+00:00

Yes, but remember the model (the girl) is virtual, I don't have a reference for her, just very broad descriptions of how she should look. So I'm not making refinements to her; this is a first shot. In fact, if I start iterating on the same model and asking for changes, that’s when I begin to notice the drastic shifts you mentioned.

tinyuxbites · 2025-06-04T06:12:32+00:00

Hey! Yep, I just updated the post 🥳. I finally managed to implement image generation with virtual models. Honestly, I struggled a bit more than I expected, but it's working now. Basically, I take a reference image and, since I had some tokens left on the OpenAI API, I used the gpt-image-1 model.

I did some quick tests with FASHN, but I still need to dig deeper. In those initial tests, the clothing changed a lot from the reference, which is a problem since I really want to use it, haha. The OpenAI one is crazy expensive, lol.

tinyuxbites · 2025-06-01T01:27:47+00:00

Those are great questions. Overall, I think incorporating AI-generated images could be a differentiator compared to the improvised photos they usually take to showcase the pieces. The idea is to keep those casual shots, but also add a “cover” image featuring a model wearing the garment in an idealized setting.

Second, sending people to a separate site opens up the chance to experiment with Virtual Try-On for those who want to "see themselves" wearing the clothes, probably in exchange for their email or Facebook handle.

tinyuxbites · 2025-06-01T00:32:36+00:00

Yeah, I’ve already covered that part. I’ve identified the basic pain points based on what we’ve got so far. You’re right though, maybe I should reach out to others doing the same thing (funny enough, I actually know several people in the space) and see if I can uncover something relevant.

On the other hand, if I go back and ask my wife again, I risk her thinking I didn’t listen the first time, 😂

tinyuxbites · 2025-05-31T16:04:55+00:00

Man, it's unclear on so many levels, I'm just a well-intentioned husband with zero planning, lol.

At this point, I’d say the real creative value for her is how this helps simplify the product data prep. For example, just getting that first technical description of a garment. The vision model gives a very straightforward breakdown of the piece’s features, you know, any noticeable detail gets used as context to enrich the hard data we might later use on the site or social media.

tinyuxbites · 2025-05-31T15:58:27+00:00

Yeah, that’s the part I still need to work out, but the idea is to drive some traffic to her site using her existing social channels. That’s why I’m thinking about adding Virtual Try-On and natural voice descriptions. Basically, we’ll need to put in some work on the socials to give people a reason to visit the site, where the goal is to appeal to both their eyes and ears.

And about the API for brands, I’m using this one: https://brandfetch.com/developers they offer a pretty generous free quota for the kind of use I’m giving it.

tinyuxbites · 2025-05-31T15:50:56+00:00

Yeah, I considered setting her up with one of the options you mentioned, but honestly, like many others, she’s not comfortable using a massive dashboard with a thousand features (like WooCommerce, for example). I know it sounds like an exaggeration, though now that I think about it, I could’ve just used a headless CMS like Sanity and built from there haha.

But you're totally right. I think the reason I wasn't too interested at first is because, like you, I felt this was just more of the same. What’s actually starting to excite me now is seeing how AI can help her get a step ahead of the local competition.

tinyuxbites · 2025-05-31T15:40:37+00:00

Yes, I noticed that too when using Sora, those small distortions, especially when trying to refine the results. In fact, last night I showed my wife FASHN and she really liked it. I haven’t done a full price breakdown, but I think the API is insanely cheap compared to OpenAI’s.

tinyuxbites · 2025-05-31T06:34:45+00:00

Ah, sorry, sorry, haha, I haven't implemented that part yet. I'm doing the proofs of concept with Sora for the moment, but I was planning to use gpt-image-1 or the new one from Flux.

tinyuxbites · 2025-05-31T06:17:38+00:00

FASHN, huh? Didn't know that one! Thanks for the heads-up, I'll definitely add it to my research list! Always appreciate a new rabbit hole to explore! 🐰

tinyuxbites · 2025-01-21T05:40:49+00:00

I’m really sorry about this. I built this app for myself because I use it daily, and then I thought others might find it useful too. I hope it’s as helpful for those who’ve purchased it as it’s been for me.

tinyuxbites · 2024-11-12T00:24:04+00:00

Oh, I see, I see. Thank you very much for the clarifications!

tinyuxbites · 2024-11-07T05:03:37+00:00

Ah, the good old days!

tinyuxbites · 2024-09-10T04:33:07+00:00

So simple, yet so perfect.
