Gift Guru

(Your guide to a unique gift for someone special)

by: Tanya Newell

How to use the app:

Use the app to search for a unique handmade gift or a local event, then save any items/ events on your Gift Ideas Pinboard by dragging and dropping the item/ event image. You may also click the item/ event image at any time to go directly to the website to view additional details/ make a purchase.

APIs:

For this app, I've used the Etsy and Eventful APIs.

Languages:

This app was build using Javascript, HTML, and CSS.

Process

This was a very interesting project, where I got to practice the design and implementation from start to end.

Challenges:

  • APIs cross-domain issue, which I learned to solve using JSONP.
  • Learning to navigate Etsy's API.
  • Figuring out the Pinboard, and choosing the right elements to remove/ append.

Final Thoughts:

I am now a lot more comfortable using various APIs. After practicing with Etsy's API, I breathed through Eventful's API. Have learned how to create interactive elements like the pinboard.
