GoalGenius Is Now a Fully Working App – Built with Next.js, Cloudflare, D1, and Better-auth

#ai #webdev #nextjs #sideprojects

A few months ago, I shared an early prototype of GoalGenius for the GitHub Copilot Challenge. It was a simple, AI-powered goal-setting app that relied on localStorage and predefined suggestions. Since then, I’ve been working in my free time to turn it into a fully functional web application.

I’m excited to announce that GoalGenius is now live – built with a modern full-stack setup and deployed on Cloudflare infrastructure!
