How to post a workflow as a carousel
Low effort posts to show how you work on Litterae, part 1
The problem with showing your work is that finished work hides how you got there. Someone sees the output and learns nothing about the decisions behind it, the tools you used, or the point where it nearly went another way. A carousel fixes that, because it forces you to break what you did into steps and show them in order.
Use a carousel when your workflow has stages. One slide per stage, five or six slides, and someone understands your whole method in a swipe without leaving the feed.
You don't need to design anything. Write the workflow out as steps, hand it to Claude or ChatGPT, and ask for slide copy, one slide per step. Plain background, large text, no decoration. It should look like it took two minutes, because it did, and because a designed carousel reads as marketing while a plain one reads as someone showing you something.
A couple of things worth knowing if you're using a prompt-based AI to make the slides. Copy this prompt to get the best results.
Then the caption and the tags. Two sentences: what you did and what came out. Tag the tool you used, what you were doing and what you're open to. That's what makes it discoverable.
