# Mona's Lucky Draw: Building a GitHub Commenter Raffle with Next.js and GitHub Copilot

Watch a basic Next.js app evolve into an engaging GitHub commenter raffle system. We’ll use the GitHub API to fetch issue commenters, implement a dynamic winner selection process with animations, and deploy the app as a PWA on Netlify. Discover how GitHub Copilot speeds up development by assisting with API integration and state management. The talk will culminate in a live demo, where the app will award a Mona plushie to a lucky audience member. Join us to explore modern web development techniques that create interactive and deployable applications.
