Center for CosmiCats Research

Description

CosmiCats is an application that allows true believers to click through 'hacked' files from nasa, searching for evidence that cats are indeed aliens.

CosmiCats is a React app that uses Redux as a global state management tool. In creating this app, I focused on demonstrating mastery of the following:

  • React
  • Redux
  • Router
  • Asynchronous JavaScript
  • Work within a short time frame (6 days) to deliver a unique product for my audience (people who believe cats are aliens)
