In the website, you can see real data from NASA about asteroids together with size and speed comparisons with Animals. More details down below :) </p> <h2> About us </h2> <p>We are computer science students at UNESP, São Paulo State University, our team is consisting of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kszinhu/">Cassiano Rodrigues</a> who has a background in Sap and 1 year of Ruby, JavaScript, MySQL, CSS, HTML, Bootstrap, AngularJS and React, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaua-steliano/">Kauã Steliano</a> who has experience of 2.5 years of Node.js, React Native and Typescript and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinicius-fiedler">Vinicius Fiedler</a> with 1.5 years of C, C++, and python. </p> <h2> Project Details </h2> <p>Projects without themes are hard to start with but they stimulate our creativity. That is why in this project we think creatively and let our imagination flow. </p> <p>Asteroid Trivia has a clean design and a straightforward proposition: show information about asteroids but in a remarkably interesting way. But just showing large numbers does not make us aware of the magnitude of those space objects. </p> <p>For this reason, we decided to compare their data with animals' data. For example, we show approximately how many aligned blue whales would be necessary to achieve the average asteroid’s diameter.</p> <h2> Used Resources </h2> <p>We used <a href="https://api.nasa.gov/">Nasa’s API Asteroids – NeoWs</a> (Near-Earth Object Web Service) to get reliable data about asteroids including their id, name, diameter, speed, last approach, and if it is hazardous. </p> <p>We utilized the playground from <a href="http://codedamn.com">Codedamn</a> to develop the project with a better workflow.</p> <p>The main technologies that we have used to create our web app were React.js, with some helpful libraries such as styled-components, to better organize our CSS code and application as a whole, font-awesome to get pretty icons and Framer motion, to implement some neat planet animations. 🌌</p> <p>We have also used Axios, a promise-based HTTP client, to better organize our API calls and avoid code duplication. allowing us to communicate with APIs easily in our React apps.</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/stelianok/codedamn-hackathon-project">Github Repository</a></p> <p><a href="https://asteroid-trivia-client-1a42-51rh07lta-stelianok.vercel.app/">Asteroid Trivia</a></p> webdev react javascript programming
