Ideas for Project 3 (Dynamic Website)

Your goal is to explore a third-party API or library.

But… What do we mean by “dynamic”?

We are streching the definition of dynamic – which usually means to have a database connected to your website. Here, it accounts for projects that request data from third-party APIs, as well as highly interactive websites.

Think of it as a website that changes it’s content depending on:

• Who is viewing it;
• When people are viewing it;
• Where they are located;
• What they type in; or
• How they interact with your website

Too vague? Here are a few project ideas to get you inspired:

Sample projects ideas

Utilitarian

• A currency converter, using Freecurrency API
• A to-do list, using Web Storage API or Google Sheets API
• A showcase of NASA’s picture of the day posted on the user’s birthday, NASA’s APOD API

Artistic

• A generative artwork that changes based on time of the day, using P5 library
• A collaborative drawing that gets reset every day, using Google Sheets API
• A geometric 3D background for your portfolio, using Three.js library

Mini games

• A point-and-click mistery game, using Phaser library
• A “guess the movie” game, using OMDB API
• A “guess the country” game, using REST Countries API

These are just suggestions to get you started. I did not test the feasibility of any of those ideas.
