Plan ahead: Only email people who have agreed to receive it, verify your sending domain, and make unsubscribing work before sending real campaigns.

A prompt to build your own version of Mailchimp

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Mailchimp-style app, first version

Build a web app for me to manage email marketing for my small business. Use a clean white layout with navy text, green buttons and a left sidebar. The Contacts screen should show realistic sample contacts with tags and consent status, plus a button to add a contact. The Campaigns screen should let me create a draft, choose a contact list, enter a subject and message, and preview the email. Make the Send button simulate sending and clearly label the result as a demo. Add an Automations screen where I can turn a single welcome email on or off and edit its message. Let me simulate a new contact joining to preview that welcome email. Use sample data only for this first version.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.
