👋 Hello Hive Community!

Hope you're vibing well, Hive fam! 👋😄
In this post, I want to share something fun (and frustrating) from my ongoing project work on Distriator—and how sometimes it's not about writing code... but vibing with AI just right 🌀✨

📸 The Business Review Dilemma

So here's the story...

In Project Distriator, we ask users to:

1. Visit a local business 🏪
2. Take a photo 📷
3. Write a short review ✍️
4. And boom, they earn cashback 💸

Everything's going great... until we hit a funny wall 🤦‍♂️

Imagine you're reviewing a restaurant. You eat. You pay. Now, we ask you to take a photo. But of what? Your empty plate? Your full tummy? 😂
Not very helpful for other users, right? 😹

💡 @starkerz to the Rescue!

Luckily, @starkerz popped in with a genius suggestion:

"Let users upload a pic from their gallery, but make sure the photo is not older than 3 hours."

Boom. Problem solved… or so we thought. 😬

The requirement was easy for a human brain—but quite a mess for Flutter to handle.

🐛 Flutter’s Not-So-Fun Limitations

We use Flutter for our app—awesome framework, but comes with quirks:

• We used the image_picker package. It works for web, but doesn't give file metadata like the image timestamp. ❌
• Then we tried exif, which gives metadata, but… doesn't support web either. Double ❌

It became clear: this was going to be a bumpy ride. 🛑

🧪 The Developer Struggle Was Real

So, I assigned this task to two of our devs. “It’s simple,” I said. “You’ll figure it out,” I said.

Two days later ⏳
They were still tinkering—building sample projects, trying out different JS-bridge approaches, and diving into stackoverflow rabbit holes. 🕳️🐇

Nothing worked. Nada.

🎧 Enter: Me, AI & The Magic Prompt

So, I jumped on a call with them. While screen-sharing, I asked:

"Why are you asking complicated things to AI? Just vibe with it."

Then I typed this prompt to ChatGPT:

html with javascript

1. Allow me to pick image - either from camera or from photo gallery  
2. If user is choosing from camera, it should by default open front-facing camera & user should be allowed to switch  
3. If user is selecting a photo from photo gallery, it should not be older than 3 hours  
4. image size should not be bigger than 1000px either height or width  
5. If image is bigger than expectations, it should be resized/scaled to 1000x  

Give me one javascript async function which I can execute using flutter - js bridge.

Guess what happened?
ChatGPT nailed it. One clean async JS function. ✨
We plugged it into our Flutter web-app via the JS bridge, and 💥 it just worked.

🆚 2 Days vs 2 Minutes

Let’s recap:

• 2 devs
• 2 full days
• Countless attempts
• Zero results ❌

vs

• 1 human
• 1 good prompt
• 2 minutes
• Working solution ✅

Moral of the story?
We’re entering a new programming era—where it's not about knowing everything, but about asking the right thing.

Welcome to the world of vibe coding 🧘‍♂️ and prompt engineering 🤖

💬 What Do You Think?

• Have you had a vibe coding moment lately?
• Do you agree that how you ask AI matters more than how much you know?

Let me know in the comments 💬
I’d love to hear your side of this!

🙌 Wrapping Up

We continue building cool tools on Hive—and every experiment, even the frustrating ones, teaches us something new.

Thanks for reading! 🚀
More power to the Hive blockchain and the devs who vibe 💻✨

📝 Final Note

Since English isn’t my first language, I asked ChatGPT/AI to help optimize this post to make it more readable and viewer-friendly.

I hope this isn’t against any downvoting rules 🙏
But if it is, feel free to let me know and I’ll be more cautious next time.
