NASA APOD Viewer
This site is a viewer for NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day. It features a clean interface that shows the picture, along with its title and explanation, as well as an animated background and sidebars. It’s lightweight by design, and also marks the first time I’ve made an API call for a web project.

I added all the CSS, so the site looks really good now. One touch I added at the end that I really liked was an animated background. The stars subtly twinkle, and I think it looks really cool. Although I was originally planning to expand this into a full new tab page after this, I’ve decided to finish this project here, since I don’t think it would look that good if I took what I have now and delegate it to a corner of the page. Since this site is now complete, I will now be shipping it soon.

I finally got the API call to work, and the image is finally displaying. The reason it took so long to work was because I gave my env file a name, which meant that vite couldn’t recognize it and the API call failed. Luckily, I was finally able to figure it out, which means that I’m now moving on to css styling.

I started the Custom New Tab mission, and got all of the setup finished. It took way longer than expected because the .env file kept showing up in the repo even though it was in the gitignore. I finally fixed it after adding *.env to the gitignore, but it took me a while to figure that out.
