## Building Your First App: Step 3 - Designing Your Pages (In MS Paint!) ##

### Shocking Confession ###

Time for a shocking confession! Despite many professional design tools available in the market, I made over $20 million designing software using...MS Paint! Yes!

### The Trick ###

The trick is to copy from successful tools and just paste the screenshot in, then edit, resize, and tweak it in a very basic way. The AI will “remake” it.

### Tip ###

Right-click and “Inspect” to edit web pages before taking screenshots.

### Past vs. Present ###

In the past, I would give this job to a designer, but now I give the mockup to AI! Let me show you how we do it.

### Action Step ###

Create 2-4 pages in MS Paint (think step 1, 2, 3) and save the images. These are your page mockups!

Building Your App: Step 4 - Annotate Mockups, Write & Submit Your Spec ##

Introduction ###

In the previous steps, we created our mockups. Now, we need to annotate and number them so that we can tell the AI what to code and what each bit does. Let's dive into the process.

Annotate Your Mockups ###

First, take your page mockups and complete them by adding annotations. Specify each element of your mockup using simple tools like Paint or SnagIt. These annotations will guide the AI in understanding what each part of your mockup represents and how it should be coded.

Write Your Text Spec ###
Now, it's time to write your text specification using a preloaded super-prompt. This involves detailing the functionality and requirements of each part of your application. Take your time to make this section thorough and clear since it will be integral to the AI correctly interpreting your mockups.

Combining Images and Text ###
Once your annotations and text specs are ready, the next step is to combine them. Paste the annotated images and your written instructions into Claude Sonnet 3.5. This innovative tool will take your mockups and specifications and translate them into executable code.

Generating Code ###
As you input your data into Claude Sonnet 3.5, you’ll witness the AI starting to write all necessary code files. This process will generate potentially all code files required, turning your specifications into a functional software application.

Conclusion ###
Congratulations! By following these steps, you've leveraged AI to assist in software development, bringing you closer to becoming a software engineer. Continue refining and testing your application to ensure it meets all your expectations and requirements.

### Step 5 - Save All the Coded Files into Visual Studio Code (VS Code) ##

#### Introduction ###

In this section, we're going to cover how to save all the coded files into Visual Studio Code (VS Code). This process involves transferring files generated by our AI tool and ensuring they're correctly configured for our project needs.

#### Basic Idea of Our "Copy-Pasting" Data-Entry-for-AI Role ###

Now, we need to take the files that Claude just coded for us and copy-paste them one by one into folders or files it specifies. Yes, this is our main job: copy-pasting! The irony will not be lost on people who have been in the "make money" game a while; the dream is here, but we’re the AI’s human data-entry slaves!

1. **Open VS Code and Ask Claude or GPT**  
   Open up VS Code and ask Claude or GPT, "What now?" Keep on asking the AIs, "What now?" every second. Be the annoying child!

> **Note**: To protect your chat limits (around 20 per 4 hours when you have long chats), you may want to encourage it to give detailed instructions and use ChatGPT for narrow guidance (example: another LLM says to download VSCode, but let me paste this screenshot. Where do I click here?).

2. **Save Each File as Given**  
   Save each file it has given you (double-check folder and filenames at each turn).

3. **Install Packages and Build the App**  
   When done, again ask Claude what to do. But, basically, it will tell you to install packages (dependencies) your project needs, build the app, then test it. It will give you specific commands to paste into "terminal".

> **Note**: Hopefully, your app will run, but if there are bugs, do not fret. This is common. We will look at this next, but again, the AIs will save us!

#### Time Management ###

You may be running low on Claude chats now, so perhaps it’s time to log off and continue tomorrow? I like to batch my "coding" work.

This concludes our step 5 guide on saving all coded files into Visual Studio Code. Make sure you follow these steps carefully to avoid any errors in setting up your project.

--------------------
## Step 6: Bugs? No Bugs? No Matter! Do These 2X Things First ##

### This Is Important! ###

We always want to have version 1.2.3.4 of our projects saved. In the event we get a working version of an app and then screw it up, we can always go back a step. We can delete these later, but for now, we want to "lock in" each one as we go.

Even if there are no bugs, we will often want to add new features, make slight graphical tweaks, etc. So it’s vital we save backups at every regular milestone. Quick, copy-paste!

### Save a Backup ###

Go to the folder where your project is saved and copy it to /folder-name-2. Do it now!

### Dealing with Bugs ###

What to do if there are bugs? Don’t fret...

Now, if there are bugs, point these out to the LLM.

Be sure to run "Inspector" and copy the errors you get into the AI (take screenshots too, explain when the error happens). Be careful if it suggests changing multiple things at once (especially if you haven’t backed up recently).

You can also ask GPT4O for its opinion and compare insights from different sources.

### Maintain Consistency ###

Ensuring that you save versions methodically and address bugs as they appear is fundamental to maintaining project quality and making progress without unnecessary setbacks. Always keep your work methodical and back up regularly.

## Step 6 - Bugs? No Bugs? No Matter! Do These 2 Things. ##

### Switch "Styles" ###

Claude Plus offers access to Sonnet 3.5, which is extraordinarily advanced at coding and proficient in juggling various resources, dependencies, and interacting ideas within its framework. However, this impressive capability comes at a cost: limited chats. Specifically, Claude Plus allows only 10-20 chats every 3-6 hours.

This limitation means we should avoid wasting our allotted 10-20 chats on unrelated queries. For example, asking about topics not directly relevant to the thread or code you're working on can unexpectedly consume your chat quota. For such unrelated questions, it's better to use GPT-4.0 or Anthropic Playground.

Switch your communication style when interacting with Claude. Instead of long, verbose, and thorough messages, try to be concise and to the point, as you would when sending brief Telegram messages to a distant relative.

### Managing Chat Limitations ###

Understanding the constraints and capabilities of Sonnet 3.5 is crucial. Given that you only get 10-20 chats every 3-6 hours, effective management of these interactions becomes essential.

Keep your questions and directives focused and specific to maximize the efficiency of your chats. Remember, Claude Plus's context memory is extensive but strategically using it can help you avoid unnecessary depletions of your chat quota.

### Reporting and Tracking Bugs ###

When dealing with potential bugs or system errors, be thorough but succinct in your reports. Avoid lengthy descriptions and focus on the core issues. This approach helps to clarify the problems quickly without consuming multiple chat interactions.

Using tools like GPT-4.0 or Anthropic Playground for isolated queries or bug-related questions can preserve your available chats for more critical tasks directly related to your coding projects.

### Conclusion ###

By adjusting your communication style and managing your chat interactions smartly, you can efficiently navigate the limitations imposed by Claude Plus. This ensures that you make the most out of your 10-20 allotted chats every 3-6 hours, facilitating a smooth and productive coding experience.
