Hero Sprint - Never Start From Zero

This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot Challenge : New Beginnings

What I Built

First of all: I'm not a coder. I didn't write a single line of code for this challenge. Copilot did it all. I was just prompting. I wanted to check what I can do as a non-coder. So, I built a demo of a goal tracking interface based on weekly sprints, that use reverse psychology. User never starts from 0 nor sees low percentages when tracking progress. Instead, text-based more encouraging status is shown. My demo doesn't fully reflect that initial idea, though.

Demo

(not fully functional, but enough to give you an idea)

Copilot Experience

I used it for everything, basically. :D Since I cannot really code.
First, I iterated the requirements with Claude.ai and once the project was ready for implementation, I moved on to GitHub Copilot.

GitHub Models

No, didn't use them. Maybe next time!

Conclusion

It was not easy. But a great experiment. :)
The biggest hurdle for me was to clarify my vision, before the project even started on the GitHub + Copilot side.

The idea that you don't overburden or aren't overburdened by the visible future sprints is helpful... It kind of keeps you in the current moment
