Project designed for students to demonstrate an understanding of React, React Router, and testing with Cypress. Students were given creative freedom on design and theme, though the theme had to center around a niche audience. The target audience for this application was chosen to be users that want to use astrology as a way to gain more understanding of their pets' behaviors. If a person or animal's sign is unknown, inputs for the birth day and month will calculate their sign and display a link for it. Information was retrieved from the aztro API by Sameer Kumar.

API is no longer maintained so this project is no longer being hosted.

Developers had one week to learn a chosen technology - Vue 3 - and apply their findings to a project. The application is designed to be an Astronomy Pic of the Day displaying information retrieved from the NASA-APOTD API. Users can select to see the Photo of the Day for yesterday, tomorrow (if not on the current today), or choose a date inputting a specific date.
