Launch-Monitor

Project Overview

Using APIs with Rails is an important skill, and knowing I was deficient in this skill, I decided to build this app to bolster that knowledge. I used HTTParty to call the Space-Devs API, parsed that data with Ruby methods, and rendered the data in ERB format. I also styled the application with TailwindCSS and host it on Fly.io.

I built this app for personal reasons. Having recently moved to Florida's Space Coast, I wanted to use my own app to track upcoming rocket launches instead of depending on someone else's app. I had fun building this app and learned a lot about APIs.
