After I tried out some of the featured apps on the home page, I was able to build my own in minutes and publish it publicly - GeoFlix, check it out!
All I did was to provide the prompt that "the app should identify and suggest movies that prominently feature specified locations or place names within their storylines."
I edited the pre-created app name to GeoFlix and clicked on the "Make public and Share" button.
AWS is offering new PartyRock users a free trial without the need to provide a credit card or sign up for an AWS account for a limited time. The percentage balance reflecting the amount of free trial usage remaining for your account is displayed in real time within PartyRock on your Backstage profile page as PartyRock credit. PartyRock credit is calculated by your input tokens, output tokens, and generated images. PartyRock Credit usage varies by model to help users build intuition on cost consideration when using generative AI.
The relative consumption of each model is expressed in a scale of (1-3 token stacks) on the model selection dropdown. A (3 token stack) will consume the most credit, a (2 token stack) will consume moderate credit, and a (1 token stack) will consume the least credit.
While the free trial usage limit seems liberal, you have to be watchful of your consumption quota, which model you use and how may tokens are used while interacting with your apps or those created by others.
With some prompting, the Claude model also generated this description for the app -
Discover the magic of movie locations with GeoFlix. Our innovative app allows you to explore the world through the lens of cinema by identifying films that prominently feature real-world places. Just search for a city, country, or other geographic location, and GeoFlix will suggest relevant titles and provide fascinating details about how the setting is used in each movie's narrative. Whether you're planning a trip, studying a region, or just want to be transported somewhere new, GeoFlix makes it easy to find films that authentically showcase destinations worldwide.
PartyRock is indeed a great way to experiment with prompt engineering techniques, review generated responses, and develop an intuition for generative AI while creating and exploring fun apps!

Back in 2012, I was planning to build a location-aware app that would tell me about interesting sights & news-worthy facts about places that fall in the way of a train journey. I discovered that Web Dev guru Chris Heilmann ( @codepo8 ) had built a nifty app on a similar theme and shared the JavaScript code under the BSD license. Things Around You used the browser's geolocation feature to find Wikipedia articles on nearby landmarks via the GeoNames API & list them with a brief description. For a Windows 8 app hackathon, I utilized the Geolocation detection idea to build a little app that I called GeoBuzz & posted it on the Windows 8 App Store. It's been on the back of my mind to extend it with more features. Now that GitHub Copilot is here, there was no need to procrastinate. I had a friendly chat with GitHub Copilot ( Gemini Flash model ). In under an hour, I customized @codepo8's original sample to include a map directly on the web page instead of linking t...
If you're a web developer and your job actively involves building web pages that work the same in all browsers including the last three versions of IE, you'll be no stranger to Browser & Document Mode in Internet Explorer These options are available with IE Developer Tools (F12 keyboard shortcut). In IE9, these modes let you emulate older versions of IE8 & IE7. Microsoft provides these modes so that websites that were built to target IE7 & lower versions don't fail hopelessly in the newer & more standards-based versions. IE provides a fallback in the form of the Compatibility View button which allows content designed for older web browsers to render well in newer versions of Internet Explorer 9. Here are the differences between Browser Mode & Document Mode - Browser Mode determines the User Agent sent to the server & the Document Mode IE defaults to. Document Mode determines the layout (rendering engine) and the JavaScript engine. Document...
