NASA APOD
A simple web experience for exploring NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day.
I built this project to practice working with APIs and learn how to turn data from an external service into an actual web experience. The site fetches the current APOD from NASA and dynamically displays its title, date, media, explanation, and copyright information.
It started as a project I was experimenting with and went through a few frustrating bugs before I finally got it working the way I wanted. Getting the API request, environment variables, and frontend rendering working together was the part that taught me the most.
