Wins

• We were able to implement the necessary API calls and get the data we needed to display on the page
• We successfully implemented gems like Figaro, VCR, Webmock, and Faraday
• Our code is logically organized and easy to read

Challenges

• We had trouble getting VCR to work initially, but we were eventually able to get it working
• There was some confusion about what routes were necessary to implement
• The user stories were a little vague, so we had to make some assumptions about what was needed which took time away from other goals
