Mobile App to See the Constellations in Your Sky

StellaVia is a 3-week-long, self-directed project made by @katiescruggs and @julieahawkins.

Inspired by the beauty of space, our mission is to make the far-away stars more accessible to people who want to learn more about constellations and become connected to the night sky overhead.

Over the course of this project, we learned React Native from scratch, how to integrate React Native with Redux, and how to design for a mobile screen (very different than a browser).

We also learned more about astronomy than we ever thought we would. Stars move in a complicated fashion.

• Tech Stack: React Native, Redux, Jest
• Platforms: Android and iOS
• APIs Used: NASA, Google Geocoding, Navigator Geolocation, wUnderground, Virtual Sky

Refactor

[This] (https://github.com/katiescruggs/stella-via/blob/master/src/components/APOD.js#L40-L62) might benefit from becoming a reusable ternary function. It could also potentially become a higher order function based on how you swing it.
