/Moon-Phase-Tracker

Hackbright capstone project (Dec 2019): Web app that tracks moon phases and sends text alerts to users

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Project Summary

Users interested in tracking moon phases can sign up to receive text alerts for specific moon phase events, or add moon phase events to their personal Google calendars. By using the Python astronomy library, Skyfield, and data from Jet Propulsions Laboratory, moon phase occurrences were calculated from years 2000 – 2050 and stored in the app’s database.

About the Developer
