This is a submission for the KendoReact Free Components Challenge.
For the challenge, I built Flip Samurai, a flashcard learning app that helps you master any subject using spaced repetition.
🚀 Try it Live: flipping-samurai.vercel.app
💻 Check the Code: GitHub Repo
Even with little frontend experience, building with KendoReact made the process surprisingly smooth. Its free components gave me everything I needed to create a polished, responsive, and accessible UI without getting stuck on small details.
🧠 Code Smarter, Not Harder – AI Coding Assistant Usage
I also tried the @kendoreact AI Coding Assistant inside VS Code. Setting it up was super simple — just activate the free trial, add your key, and start typing @kendoreact.
Here’s how it helped me during development:
- Collection Card – Prompt:
@kendoreact Create a card for my collections in /collections
✅ Output: a ready-to-use KendoReact card layout.
- Dialog Template – Prompt:
@kendoreact A confirmation dialog for deleting a collection
✅ Output: fully functional modal with Dialog and Buttons.
- Form Layout – Prompt:
@kendoreact A form with inputs and labels for adding a new flashcard
✅ Output: clean, scaffolded KendoReact form.
- Refactoring Help – Prompt:
@kendoreact hey, can you refactor this component using KendoReact best practices?
✅ Result: improved readability and structure instantly.
These small but practical examples saved me a ton of time. Instead of searching docs for syntax or layout details, I could focus on app logic and flow. It felt like coding with a mentor sitting next to me. 😄
