Frontend Terms for Vibe Coding

People keep talking about the frontend and backend. What's the difference?

Turn this repeated product area into a component so one change updates every instance.

After the submit button is clicked, show Saving, then update the message on success or failure.

The document AI wrote is full of # signs and asterisks. What is that, and can it turn into nicely formatted text?

The code AI wrote has a bunch of angle brackets and English words. What are those for?

The button works, but its color stays gray. Help me find which style is overriding the theme color.

A task appears after I click Add, but it is not in the source HTML. Help me confirm what was inserted at runtime.

Give every product detail page a tab title containing its product name, while keeping the H1 in the page.

Check what this page shows in the tab, search snippet, shared link, and install entry separately.

Give the article share card the right title, description, absolute image URL, and canonical URL, then check it with a real share preview.

Check the Web App Manifest name, icons, start_url, and display, then reinstall and verify the launch result.

This change is wrong—undo it and put things back the way they were before I touched them.

I heard some people browse without a mouse, using a screen reader—check whether they can use this page properly.

Add a button that saves the content when someone clicks it.

Make this text clickable so it takes people to another page.

Add a field where people can enter their email address.

People need to write a longer message here, so one line won't be enough.

Only let people enter numbers for the quantity, with plus and minus controls if possible.

These options should be mutually exclusive—choosing one should clear the last one.

Make this work like a phone setting: flip it on, then flip it off again.

I want a draggable slider for setting the price range.

Let people rate the product with stars.

There are too many choices to show all at once. Put them in a dropdown people can open and pick from.

When someone types the first few letters, show suggestions and let them click one to finish the entry.

For the address, let people choose state, then city, then neighborhood one level at a time.

Put a clear label in front of every field so people know what to enter.

On the details page, list the name, date, and status clearly, one field at a time.

There's too much content here. Split it into tabs so people can switch views with a click.

This page is long. Add a small table of contents on the right that jumps to each section.

After someone scrolls way down, show a button in the bottom right that takes them back to the top.

Keyboard users have to press Tab too many times to reach the main content. Can they jump there directly?

Show the content as cards in a grid, with more columns on wide screens and wrapping on narrow ones.

Keep the content in a narrow column with space on both sides instead of stretching it across the whole screen, like a blog.

Pin this little icon to the top-right corner of the card so the rest of the layout doesn't affect it.

Can you center this box both horizontally and vertically? Why is that always so hard?

This card is set to 320px. Why does adding padding make it overflow its container?

The bottom of this card is hidden. Check whether it is vertical overflow and keep the action from being clipped.

All the text on this page runs together—separate the headings, body copy, and notes so the important stuff stands out.

Use a serif font with a little character for the headings, then keep the body text clean and simple.

If a title is too long, cut it off and show an ellipsis at the end.

These two sections feel cramped. Add a subtle line between them.

Round the sharp corners on these cards a bit so they feel softer.

Add a light shadow under the card so it feels like it's floating above the page.

This image is stealing too much attention. Make it a little transparent.

Instead of a solid background, let the color fade from blue into purple.

Make the corner rounding consistent across the site—some parts are square and some are round.

Organize the main color, spacing, and radius as design tokens instead of repeating values in every component.

That gray helper text on the page strains my eyes—make it readable.
