Tax Vision - calculate salary from gross to net and vice versa

This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot CLI Challenge

What I Built

I built Tax Vision, a simple but practical web app that helps users calculate their salary from gross to net and vice versa.

The idea came from a very real problem: salary discussions are often confusing because different people talk in gross while others think in net. Tax Vision bridges that gap by letting users quickly convert between the two and better understand their take-home pay.

For me, this project was about:

• Turning a real-life pain point into a usable tool
• Keeping the UI clean and focused on one core problem
• Experimenting with faster development workflows using AI tooling

My Experience with GitHub Copilot CLI

Using GitHub Copilot CLI felt like having a very fast, very patient pair-programming partner in the terminal.

I mainly used it to:

• Scaffold parts of the project structure quickly
• Generate boilerplate code and configs without breaking flow
• Get instant suggestions for commands, scripts, and fixes while staying in the CLI

What stood out most was how much it reduced context switching. Instead of jumping between docs, Stack Overflow, and my editor, I could ask Copilot CLI directly what I needed and keep building momentum.

It didn’t replace thinking or design decisions—but it did remove a lot of friction. That made the whole process more enjoyable and let me focus on what mattered: building something useful.
