Dynamic Dashboard
Inspiration
Managing personal finances can be overwhelming, and many budgeting tools either lack simplicity or require too much manual effort. We wanted to create a user-friendly, AI-enhanced financial dashboard that helps users track their spending habits effortlessly. By integrating GitHub Copilot for smarter coding and Azure Static Web Apps for seamless deployment, we built a tool that is efficient, scalable, and easy to maintain.
What It Does
Dynamic Dashboard is a React-based budgeting dashboard that allows users to:
Track spending habits with clear visualisations
Gain financial insights through an interactive UI
Experience real-time updates with a smooth, fast-loading interface
Benefit from seamless deployment using Azure Static Web Apps
How We Built It
Technology Stack
- Frontend: React, built using Visual Studio Code
- AI Assistance: GitHub Copilot for code suggestions, optimisations, and debugging
- Hosting & Deployment: Azure Static Web Apps for a serverless and automated CI/CD pipeline
- Version Control & CI/CD: GitHub, integrated with Azure DevOps for continuous updates
Development Process
- Initial Development: Built the React-based UI for the dashboard.
- AI-Powered Optimisation: Used GitHub Copilot to improve code quality and reduce redundancy.
- Before & After Comparisons: Documented how Copilot’s suggestions enhanced performance.
- Azure Integration: Implemented Azure Static Web Apps for seamless hosting and automatic updates via GitHub Actions.
