What I Built

I have built a crowd funding platform, currently in development but im submitting as a concept with mock data and no backend transacting functionality at present.
I find it extremely exciting to build and develop concepts that others might find useful.
I am fond of using the software that I make, I feel more connected to what I am doing

Demo

Platform Features:

Landing page
Members dashboard
Project listing and management
Industry-grade payment integration (third-party processor)

My Experience with GitHub Copilot CLI

I like to start with a concept.txt or md file. I will then detail my vision/direction, and as much specific details for frameworks and languages to use (tech stack).

I also add any research gathered, and once the Copilot AI has ingested my idea, I make enquiries asking for options and advice, like "what would you do if?" or "what do you think about that?".

I then choose an option and start building, then edit and test until fully developed to my satisfaction. You can read more in the concept.md file found in the GitHub repo provided.

Even just filling out this submissions form has taught me a lot - this will be my very first entry to any kind of competition, ever, so it's a big moment for me!

Thank you for the opportunity, great fun to participate in this exciting event!

Good day. I feel privileged and happy to be able to share some of my thoughts and experiences on this platform. I feel more comfortable with opensource communities and ideas.
having used windows for most of my life, I was always curious about other options. I have been aware of linux systems for years now. eventually bought my first raspberry pie, (3B+) and was hooked.
the bash command line was my entry point and my curiosity took me down the proverbial rabbit hole. then started messing around with ISO's, and eventually installed manjaro the gnome version. This version uses the zshell also has built in opensource Vs-code which works right out the box.
I have participated in courses from freeCodeCamp, codecademy, a bit of hack-the-box and loads of YouTube tutorials all of which got me to here. but really its this community where everything is coming together for me. So power to the people and to all involved!
