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. </p> <h2> Demo </h2> <p>Demo: <a href="https://anupulu.github.io/hero-sprint/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://anupulu.github.io/hero-sprint/</a><br> (not fully functional, but enough to give you an idea)</p> <h2> Repo </h2> <p><a href="https://github.com/anupulu/hero-sprint" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/anupulu/hero-sprint</a></p> <h2> Copilot Experience </h2> <p>I used it for everything, basically. :D Since I cannot really code. <br> First, I iterated the requirements with Claude.ai and once the project was ready for implementation, I moved on to GitHub Copilot.</p> <h2> GitHub Models </h2> <p>No, didn't use them. Maybe next time!</p> <h2> Conclusion </h2> <p>It was not easy. But a great experiment. :)<br> The biggest hurdle for me was to clarify my vision, before the project even started on the GitHub + Copilot side.</p> devchallenge githubchallenge webdev ai
