This session saw me spend a lot of time setting up the frontend UI architecture. I created style.css to develop the dark space-themed UI where I used glassmorphism to build my sidebars and modals to make it look like a dashboard interface. Also, I began working on the Javascript architecture by splitting it into multiple files (ui.js, api.js, scene.js).

The problem: Getting the CSS backdrop-filter (blurring effect) working properly and not making everything too blurry was a pain in the neck. In addition to this, I had some difficulties while trying to test my JS modules because of CORS issues until I figured out that I had to use a Python HTTP server to test them.

The plan ahead: Now, the UI is done but it is still an empty shell. Next session, I am going to start working on api.js to get my asteroids from NASA NeoWs API endpoint.
