Couch or COVID | Project 1 - Team Reality-Bytes

"A Data Driven App for Navigating the Elements of 2020."

Concept

This applications gives users a quick glance at the Weather and Covid-19 stats for any city ours user inputs, to see if it was a good idea to venture outside of your home for that day.

Process

Technologies used:

• HTML
• CSS/Foundation
• Javascript/JQuery

Breakdown of tasks and roles:

• SCRUM Master - Mike
• HTML/Layout - All
• Styling - Cham then Mike/All
• Javascript - All with Liz acting as lead for QA

Challenges

APIs:

Our COVID API didn't use ZIPCODES and the only "local" data set was county level using FIPS. Since our weather API didn't use FIPS we needed to bring in a 3rd API to convert ZIP to FIPS.

Timing:

We ran into timing issues as the COVID API took 1-2s to run, causing the function to "pass" it and not work properly.
