Inspiration
What inspired me here was the theme of the hackathon, Formula 1. This is because F1 is a sport that I don't watch, so I thought it would be interesting to build a project where in the meantime I can understand the drivers involved, their teams, and the locations they compete at.
What it does it do?
This application allows users to quickly search for information of current F1 drivers by just typing their name in the the input with a simple interface.
How I built it
OpenF1's API was called through JavaScript and HTML/CSS were used to stylize the webpage.
Challenges I ran into
The main challenge of building this project was how the API returned its data. The data given by the api for drivers is not just one object for each, but rather one object per driver per session of driving. This was something I had to deal with to find the object that had the most complete information because many of them were missing some key stats.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm overall just proud of the fact that I was able to pull off a project in 24hrs :) working alone.
What I learned
I learned at this hackathon there is still much more for me to learn such as many other technologies that can make an app like this better, and I hope I pick them up before the next one.
What's next for Formula One Web Encyclopedia App
This project might get an upgrade when I learn new technologies :)
