“From Practice to Project” Finally touched the actual project file for WildfireWatch today 😅 Up until now I’d just been messing around in the day2, day3… practice files — today’s the first time I added something to the real main.py.
Right now it’s pretty simple — it prints the project name, confirms it’s going to run on NASA FIRMS fire data, and a “Status: Starting…” line so I can track where the program is in its startup flow.
Basic stuff, but it felt like a real shift going from practice files to actual project code. Next up — trying to pull live data from the NASA FIRMS API, then figuring out how to parse it so I can start on the distance calculation from a user’s location.
