EPITECH JAM

JSTS

A hackathon on the theme of space, with NASA's astronomy pictures.

The JAM is an internal hackathon: an imposed theme, very little time, and a team. The theme being space, the project was built around NASA's public API that publishes a commented astronomy photograph every day. The ambition was broad: a web application and a mobile application sharing the same service.

A React web gallery around the NASA APOD API, an Ionic 4 / Angular mobile application packaged for Android, and a Node/Express + Sequelize backend carried over from an earlier project: a scope deliberately wider than the available weekend.
