# City dashboard from blank repo

Devin took a blank GitHub repo and built a City Explorer dashboard with a FastAPI backend and React frontend, then deployed it.

Result: A working, deployed app that shows images, weather, and news for a city, finished in roughly 90 minutes from an empty repo.

## How it was set up

Devin Core plan. Each session runs on a cloud Ubuntu 22.04 VM. Input was a GitHub repo URL; Devin used its in-browser VS Code environment.

## Worth knowing

Integrations were placeholders. Runs only in Devin's cloud, and ACU billing counts idle and thinking time.

## Prompt

```text
Build a [app name] in this empty GitHub repo: a dashboard that shows [data sources] for a given [input]. Use [backend] and [frontend], open a pull request, and deploy to a public URL.
```
