Inspiration: I like space and I often wonder about the night sky
What it does: it checks if the night sky is going to be cloudy, if not, it lists the planets, what time they are at their highest point, and how visible it is.
How I built it: Used Parsehub to get the data and java script to run the data
Challenges I ran into: I have never programmed any sort of google response so I had to spend most the night learning it. It also took me forever to come up with an idea
Accomplishments that I'm proud of: It responds when I say the phrase
What I learned: Google makes things unnecessarily complicated
What's next for Night Sky: being able to get the data in real time. Right now I have to manually rescrape the websites to refresh the data, so having google/ java script do that for me would be great.
