Practical case of Vibecoding: "2026 encrypted calendar" The balance for 2025 is already insufficient, and we are about to enter 2026 without any waves. In order to not miss the Alpha in the field of encryption in my daily life in the new year, I Vibe Coding created a 2026 encrypted calendar. Function Introduction: Calendar function, view dates Capture hot news from all over the internet ❸ Unlock time for major tokens Reminder of major events such as mainnet upgrade At present, major project parties have limited commitments for next year, and more news will continue to be updated. https://2026-crypto-alpha-calendar.vercel.app The functionality is not difficult to implement, and the main focus is on debugging the UI. This is also a point that many beginners of Vibe Coding often give me feedback on: they can run, but they are ugly, and the more they modify, the uglier they become. Here, based on my practical experience, I have summarized three basic techniques and three advanced thinking methods that may be helpful for improving the UI of Vibe Coding. Basic Version: Three Quick and Effective Plastic Surgery Techniques Core logic: No parameters, only intuition, let AI understand your aesthetics 1. Find a 'Rich Dad' Tip: Aesthetics are difficult to describe, the quickest way is to directly specify a high aesthetic benchmark product. Your pain point: Describing half a day as' wanting to be grand and good-looking ', AI still makes it look like a website from the 1990s. Prompt script: "Please fully refer to the design style of [Apple official website/Binance Professional Edition/Linear]. I want that font, spacing, and color scheme. ” 2. Cleverly use the "dark mode" Tip: For beginners, a dark background is the biggest fig leaf, as it comes with a sense of technology and sophistication. Your pain point: A light colored interface can appear very cheap if the color scheme is slightly incorrect, like a phishing website. Prompt script: "Force the use of dark mode. The background should be black, the text should be white, only the most important buttons can be brightly colored, and other areas should not have colorful colors 3. Increase the "blank space" Tip: The essence of sophistication is wasting space. Squeezing is the root of soil air. Your pain point: The interface generated by AI by default always has information densely packed together. Prompt script: "Smooth out the current layout. Double the spacing between all elements to make the picture look breathable and spacious, without being squeezed together Advanced version: Three "Product Manager" level thinking models Core logic: Do not teach AI how to modify code, teach him how to design interaction logic 1. Visual hierarchical thinking The interface cannot be solely focused on the key points. You need to control where the user's eyes are looking. Don't just focus on 'whether there is', pay attention to' whether it is important '. Instruction idea: Tell AI to distinguish between primary information (large, bright, white) and secondary information (small, gray, dark). The core Alpha event should be greatly highlighted, while the secondary description should be dimmed. Don't let all the text grab the show. 2. Component based thinking Don't see a webpage as a painting, see it as building blocks. Don't let AI change the entire page at once, it's easy to get messy. Instruction idea: Let's not focus on the whole for now. Please design the individual calendar grid component to the extreme (rounded corners, shadows, labels) first, and then copy and apply it to the entire list. 3. State thinking UI is a living machine, not a dead poster. The sense of sophistication comes from 'interaction'. Instruction concept: The interface should have vitality. When hovering the mouse, there should be a halo, and when loading data, there should be a skeleton screen. Don't make users feel like the interface is stuck. These small feedbacks are the key to distinguishing between "demo" and "product". Simply put, the essence of Vibe Coding is that you become a product manager and AI becomes the technical leader. You can start by being picky and gradually move towards planning. Another small trick is to accumulate aesthetic knowledge in daily life, try to describe and understand the UI design that you feel comfortable with, so that there is no language shortage when writing prompt words.
