I prompted for the ability to upload a pic and enter name, date and location. It made a basic version. I tested it, then had Co-Pilot add the ability to rotate the images before saving the card. <br> I modified the color scheme. Didn't like the base black and white. <br> Later I prompted for a gallery showing the entire collection. When this was added it broke the app. Co-pilot had duplicated the card element ans was trying to save the same thing twice.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fe398mgudvdynczar5m5q.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fe398mgudvdynczar5m5q.png" alt="Image of several stickers" width="800" height="999"></a></p> <h2> Thoughts </h2> <p>This was mainly an exercise with Co-Pilot. If I was to continue with this I would add a Dark Mode toggle. Maybe add a tool to visualized what uploaded stickers would look like on a device. The way home decor place let you virtually place furniture in rooms. <br> I would also try to do something fun with CSS. </p> devchallenge weekendchallenge Chris Jarvis Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:57:54 +0000 https://dev.to/jarvisscript/what-are-your-goals-for-the-week-158-1clo https://dev.to/jarvisscript/what-are-your-goals-for-the-week-158-1clo <p>After stumbling by on an old machine for too long I finally got a new Macbook.
