Weather app
This app was the final project for the SheCodes Plus workshop.
It fetches data from the OpenWeather API based on a city search or the user's current location. Although not required by the project, I set the time and date to match the timezone of the location being searched for rather than the user's timezone. For example; it is 9am in Sydney, Australia but when I search for Kyiv the time in the weather app shows me that it is 2am in Kyiv. I did this because I think the current weather conditions are more meaningful if you have the current time.
I also added a night theme to the project, which is conditional on the local sunrise and sunset time. Again, using the Sydney versus Kyiv example, at 9am in Sydney the site would have a light blue background and black text. A search for Kyiv (where the local time was 2am) would change the page to a navy blue background and white text.
Bluey fan site
If you have small children and you don't know about this Australian cartoon - well, your life is about to change.
I built this site as the final project for the SheCodes Basics workshop. It features basic HTML, CSS and Javascript.
When I built this I hadn't yet learnt about Bootstrap grids or Flexbox
Data visualisations
I am always looking for opportunities to visualise data, whether it be election results, Census data or even timelines.
I am interested in learning Python or R to build my expertise in this area. At the moment I use Datawrapper and Flourish. I have found my coding knowledge very useful in extending what's possible with these tools.
I wrote a story about election data which used extensive graphs and maps, but you must have a subscription to read it.
These are some of the visualisations I have created in my current role.
