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

What I Built

Momentum is a productivity app designed to help users overcome procrastination by breaking down tasks into manageable 5-minute segments. By combining smart task suggestions, progress tracking, and gamification, Momentum makes productivity achievable and engaging.

Key Features

• 5-Minute Focus Sessions: Small, manageable time blocks to kickstart productivity.
• Smart Task Suggestions: Context-aware task recommendations based on user behavior and time of day.
• Automatic Task Breakdown: Simplifies complex tasks into actionable steps.
• Progress Tracking: Visual representation of accomplishments and streaks.
• Gamification: Level-up system and streaks to maintain motivation.
