Habits: A Modern Habit Tracking Application
This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot Challenge: New Beginnings What I Built I created "Habits," a minimalist yet powerful habit tracking application that helps users build and maintain positive habits throughout the year. The application features a clean, intuitive interface that allows users to: Track multiple habits across a 52-week timeline Customize habits with different colors for visual organization Mark daily completions with an elegant checkbox system Navigate through weeks effortlessly Add and remove habits dynamically Store progress persistently using Supabase The project uses React with TypeScript, integrating modern UI components from shadcn/ui, and features responsive design principles for a seamless experience across devices. Demo The interface presents a weekly view with days abbreviated as M, T, W, Th, F, Sa, Su, making it easy to track habits at a glance. Users can navigate between weeks using intuitive arrow controls, and the progress is automatically saved to ensure no data is lost.
