Lessons Learned

• Data security. When uploading code to GitHub, I realized I needed to make sure that important data, like API keys, need to be kept from being uploaded. Therefore, I used NASA's demo API key instead of mine so that anyone can use the hosted version of the app on GitHub Pages without worry.
