This post is related to my previous post that discussed GitHub Copilot new pricing policy for what theya re calling now Premium Requests. Take a look at my original post for details on what Premium Requests are.

I thought let’s go ahead and run an analysis. I opened my Visual Studio Code then opened my webeccentric.com repo root directory and went to work.

Here is the before picture from VS Code on Premium Requests.

Here is a snapshot of the current state of my webeccentric.com website.

And here is my 1st prompt in VS Code + GitHub Copilot + Agent Mode + Claude Sonnet 3.7

I like to convert my webeccentric.com website to a modern ReactJS application. I want to use the content and the pages I already have but modernize them and re-write them for ReactJS. I believe this website is also mobile friendly and uses progressive web application techniques, but if not, I want that too to be implemented.

Can you help me with that?

I started work at 2:20pm Central and ended at 3:02pm Central. My work included choosing an empty target folder for the upgraded codebase, a 2 continue button clicks noting the human-in-the-middle activity, installing dependencies, troubleshooting the build and seeing the new work for the first time.

Then I ended with a second prompt to Copilot.

Prepare this project for publishing to GitHub. Update README.md file with latest instructions and chnages

Here is the after picture from VS Code on Premium Requests.

Here is a snapshot of the newly built website.

Certainly, this needs more work. Copilot Agent Mode attempted to copy and reference my original images, logo, and favicon but did not have any success. I did not want to spend more time at the moment but will do so at a later time.

In summary, from a GitHub Copilot Premium Requests perspective, we went from a 3.3% to a 4.7%. These premium requests are included in my plan. Not bad for the first try converting my website from static HTML, CSS and JavaScript to a ReactJS app.

Catch you all later.
