🚀 Just wrapped up my first hackathon project — an Expense Tracker built for the Stardance Hackathon (Hack Club × NASA)!
Built entirely with vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS — no frameworks, just fundamentals.
🤖 How I used AI in the process: GitHub Copilot in VS Code helped me write code faster as I built out features. For debugging and strengthening the logic/connections between components, I used Claude and the OpenRouter CLI to catch issues, refactor, and understand why something broke — not just fix it blindly.
As an incoming CS student at GTBIT, this was a great way to apply what I’ve been learning and get comfortable shipping something real, with AI as a tool rather than a crutch.
