Copilot Experience
I used the copilot with GPT-4o model extensively. So many prompts and so many code blocks generated. I'm very happy with the speed with which I completed this prototype, given that I'm a backend developer and most of the work in this web app was frontend related like the styling, layouts and all. Overall, it was a fun experience.
Conclusion
For this project I did a lot of brainstorming. I didn't want to make a simple habit tracker app, I wanted to make it something related to a metaphor. Like for now on the web app there are three butterfly badges. Monarch shows the metaphor of good health, Blue Morpho is all about self-awareness and Swallowtail is a metaphor for Ambition and Confidence (I researched a bit about butterflies to come up with these metaphors).
This project is a a very simple version of what I'm planning to include further. I will in the future try to add animations using html canvas that will show the process of caterpillar transforming to the butterfly with the help of Copilot (this is just one thought I have). I think I can accomplish that as well.
For now my minimalist but metaphorical Metamorphosis Tracker is what I present to the world through this contest.
