Description

The goal of this project was to create a fun and functional web app. In learning new skills we wanted to make something our friends would be excited to test drive as well! The site is built to display facts about the birthday of the user, including the top headline of the day, book of the year, and/or movie of the year. When the user opens the modal, enters their birthdate, and chooses a category, then the site displays cards that contain the facts from the day the user chose. Each category has its own card and each decade is styled to mirror the aesthetic of the era. This was our first time working in a group this semester, so there was a lot to learn about collaboration and Github merging. It was genuinely a joy to collaborate with the team and share the workload of the project. We hope you have as much fun using the site as we had making it!
