An Afternoon mars project

Yesterday afternoon I discovered NASA’s array of free and super awesome APIs. Over the course of this summer I’ve been working on a project for Microsoft whose main point is to display data, so I thought this was perfect; I already have all the tools and knowledge I need to make a really simple web app that displays some sweet data coming in from mars.

So, that’s exactly what I did. You can view the deployed site here.

Essentially, when you load up the website it initiates a call to NASA’s InSight API which has Mars weather data. From there, it renders the information using Recharts and FluentUI.

The whole operation is a React app deployed on Github Pages.
