Caturday is a place for both cat-enthusiasts and new-to-cats-users to learn more about cat breeds and potentially find one that would match their lifestyle— all in a Western theme.
This was an assignment from Turing School of Software and Design's Front End Engineering program, known as the Stretch Tech project. Stretch Tech is a group project focused on learning and implementing a new technology with peers rather than being taught by instructors with a structured curriculum. We chose to learn and implement Typescript.
It's a-meow-zing what you can learn in just a week!
With this application users are able to view a cat of the day, a list of cat breeds fetched from a RESTful API. To learn more about a breed, the user can click on the wanted poster preview and get additional information. Users can also filter by the affection level of cats
