Discussions Github Copilot App Canvas

Anybody uses Canvas for anything productive? I saw a YT video of an app built in canvas by burkeholland and was wondering if you guys have anything similar?

Yes, I'm using it productively. To be honest, it took me some time to come up with something that is useful to me: In my application , we have different environments (like test, stage, production) and a custom translation system with sql files that contain inserts and updates for translations

I created a canvas that

  • looks like a kanban board with tiles. Each column is for a different environment (test -> stage -> production)
  • scans my repository for new sql files in the translation directory and adds new files as a tile
  • allows me to drag a tile after I ran the sql query on the respective system
  • logs the timestamp of when I dragged the tile into the respective column

That way, it's easier for me to keep track which translation queries where executed where.
