Solution retrospective


What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

This is the biggest Project I've worked by far, using JS for the mobile Menu, Fetch API, and URL validation. I'm proud that I was able to finish it, despite my struggles with the API.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

The biggest challenge for me was with the CleanURI API. I couldn't find a way to post the URL and fetch the data using that API with just vanilla Javascript and I couldn't find any documentation on it. After a lot of research on different URL shortening APIS that are free I found a service called manyapis which was free, worked well, and gave me a fair amount of requests a day for the free version.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

While I am proud of being able to make the website using the ManyApis service, I would still love to figure out, if it's possible how to use the CleanUri API without the need of a back end server. Thanks for Reading! Happy Coding!
