Space Photo of the Day

I’m trying hard this year to do more creating. Write a blog, and even if it’s not perfect, that’s ok. Ship it. Build a site. Who cares if it’s small and not up to the design standards I’d usually set? Did I learn something? Ship it…or make it a Codepen. Just share learnings.

I often struggle with “what to make” but I knew I wanted to make something that could be a one page site that has something new to look at each day. The NASA API is full of amazing information and photography so I created a “Space Photo of the Day” site. Here is the link.

This could’ve been a Codepen but I wanted to do the full deployment to Digital Ocean. Here is the component.

Not sure what I want to make yet but I’m thinking maybe a Vue gallery of photos from the Mars rovers. I also desperately need to redesign this site. Always something to do.
