Inspiration ✨

Today, I'm bringing to you an interactive solar system exploration project that brings the wonders of space to life.

The idea was to create a tool that lets users learn about planets and the solar system in a fun and engaging way.

Journey 👨‍💻

This project tested my patience with pure CSS and JavaScript. Things not working, don't know why, then working all of a sudden - it was a rollercoaster ride.

But I gotta say - the journey of creating this project was filled with learning and experimentation.

I focused on building a user-friendly interface where people could search for planets and immediately see information about them.

The challenge was making the solar system look visually appealing while keeping it functional and educational.

I’m proud of how the draggable facts component and the search functionality turned out, as it adds an interactive element that enhances the user experience.

Throughout this process, I learned a lot about combining creativity with coding.

Next, I plan to explore adding more detailed information and possibly 3D elements to the program.


Thank you for checking out my interactive solar system exploration project. 🎉

It was a challenging yet rewarding experience, blending creativity with coding.

I'm excited to continue improving it with more features and detail.

Your interest and feedback mean a lot to me.
