Tools & Development Notes

AI coding assistants (ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Claude) were used during development, primarily for generating setup code, debugging Flutter-specific issues, and assisting with parts of the UI implementation. All design decisions, app structure, interaction logic, user research, and feedback-driven design iterations were our own.
