Copilot Experience

My development journey with Genesis was significantly enhanced by GitHub Copilot on Vscode. Copilot served as my invaluable companion, streamlining the development process. Here's how I leveraged Copilot's functionalities:

• Chat (ctrl + I): I frequently interacted with Copilot through chat, effectively describing functionalities and receiving relevant code snippets and suggestions.
• Autocompletions: Copilot's autocompletions were incredibly helpful, especially for repetitive code patterns and boilerplate.
• Copilot Edits: For repetitive code sections, I utilized Copilot edits to expedite the development process.

GitHub Models

I incorporated the capabilities of GitHub Models to elevate Genesis's functionalities. Notably, I employed the OpenAI GPT-4o mini model (considering its low tier limit) to implement a feature that breaks down complex goals into manageable to-do items. This integration empowers users to translate their aspirations into actionable steps, fostering a more achievable roadmap to success.

Conclusion

Building Genesis has been a rewarding experience that has not only strengthened my development skills but also provided me with the opportunity to create a tool that has the potential to positively impact users' lives. Genesis empowers individuals to take charge of their productivity and achieve their goals.

I'm constantly seeking ways to improve Genesis. Feel free to share your feedback or suggestions in the comments below!
