- The weather data is currently unavailable. The API that I was using has restricted access to historical data, and I have not had a chance to find a new API.
- The weather is not synced correctly for users that are not located in Seattle, or if the current daylight savings do not match the daylight savings on the date viewed.
This project was completed while on break from Ada Developers Academy. Below are my initial answers to the questions asked at the start of the project.
- What is the goal of the project?
- To provide a visual representation of bike traffic on the Fremont bridge.
- Who is the target audience (can be just yourself)?
- Curious Seattle residents who are interested in biking culture.
- What are your personal learning goals?
- Getting more exposure to:
- Integrating with 3rd-party APIs
- Animation
- Visually representing data
- Creating a visually minimalist design
- What technologies/frameworks/patterns will you be employing?
- This will be done entirely in HTML/CSS + JavaScript.
- All testing will be completed manually, since we have not learned JS testing yet.
- Data from APIs:
- Fremont Bridge Bike Traffic from the City of Seattle (powered by Socrata)
- Historical weather data from Open Weather Map
- What are the tech and/or skill dependencies of your project?
- Some math for determining how many bike images + rate of movement based on the data
- Integrating with 3rd party APIs
- CSS animations
- What does success look like for this project? What does done mean?
- The final product will display the hourly weather and bike traffic for a given day.
- The bike traffic will be displayed either as a list of hours with animations for bike traffic for each hour, or as a single time-lapse of the entire day.
- The user can choose the day displayed.
