Build a Habit Tracker with Bolt + ChatGPT

A step-by-step guide

As promised, I’ve attached the full, 18 page guide for the Habit Tracker that I created with Bolt + ChatGPT!

Hopefully this shows you how easy it can be to make applications for yourself with AI tools!

Though I will say, if you’re a beginner - SIMPLICITY IS KEY 

Bolt is great for web design, but the more features you add, the more complexity you introduce to the application, and the more errors you will likely get.

If you’re genuinely curious to build something for yourself, here’s a workflow I would recommend:

  • Create an idea (ex. personal trade journal)

  • Ask ChatGPT to generate a prompt for an AI tool specialized in web design to create a personal trade journal with some basic capabilities, ex. authentication (sign in/out), create/update/delete trade entries, and whatever else you might consider essential

  • Use that prompt in Bolt to create the initial concept of the website, and let Bolt connect Supabase to save data

  • After a few prompts with Bolt, import the project to something like Cursor where you can walk through each file rather than rebuilding the entire project with every prompt (which Bolt often does unless old otherwise)

This workflow is just my own preference but I’ve found it to work really well. Again, simplicity is key if you’re new to this stuff - baby steps!

Anyway, here’s the full guide! 👇
