Copilot Experience
I used the copilot with GPT-4o model extensively. So many prompts and so many code blocks generated. I'm very happy with the speed with which I completed this prototype, given that I'm a backend developer and most of the work in this web app was frontend related like the styling, layouts and all. Overall, it was a fun experience.
Conclusion
For this project I did a lot of brainstorming. I didn't want to make a simple habit tracker app, I wanted to make it something related to a metaphor. Like for now on the web app there are three butterfly badges. Monarch shows the metaphor of good health, Blue Morpho is all about self-awareness and Swallowtail is a metaphor for Ambition and Confidence (I researched a bit about butterflies to come up with these metaphors).
This project is a a very simple version of what I'm planning to include further. I will in the future try to add animations using that will show the process of caterpillar transforming to the butterfly with the help of Copilot (this is just one thought I have). I think I can accomplish that as well.
For now my minimalist but metaphorical Metamorphosis Tracker is what I present to the world through this contest.
