Impostor syndrome website: Copilot 1-Day Build Challenge

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

What I Built

I created an informative website about impostor syndrome. I think more than one person has faced this problem, and for a long time, I had to fight (and I am still fighting) to overcome it. A few days ago, I had the idea to create a website addressing this issue, and this Challenge was a great opportunity to bring it to life.

Copilot Experience

Currently, I'm learning React with TypeScript, and for this project, I wanted to use MUI components and TsParticles to make the development process more efficient. Copilot helped me understand some parts of the documentation for those libraries. In many cases, it could complete large parts of repetitive code. I also used prompts to let it know that I was new to this technology to get better responses. Additionally, the AI model I was using could create entire component sections with about 90% accuracy—I just had to fix some incorrect props and style sections.

On the other hand, I used Copilot to stay organized. Since this was a short challenge, I had to manage my time effectively. Copilot helped me create a timeline and a plan to complete my app.

GitHub Models

I used the O1-mini model.

Conclusion

This challenge was my first hackathon, and I’m satisfied with the final product I created in collaboration with AI models. I hope my website helps people dealing with insecurity or impostor syndrome. I’d like to continue improving the project by integrating new interactive features for users.

Tools like Page Speed Insights and Google Lighthouse are great for providing advice for front end performance issues. But what these tools can’t do, is evaluate performance across your entire stack of distributed services and applications.
