###Zipline Challenge Ideas###
We have a Trello board for this here: https://trello.com/b/oNrPhmI4/bonfires-ziplines-basejumps
Zipline challenges involve building simple single-page applications using tools like Bootstrap, jQuery and public APIs in CodePen. These challenges will be reviewed by a human (rather than automatically like the bonfires).
These Front End Challenges shouldn't require a database (if the APIs you want to use require keys, Free Code Camp can create an API endpoint for you so you don't have to put they key itself on CodePen).
Agreed upon challenge ideas:
- Pomodoro Clock (http://codepen.io/sevilayha/pen/zbnhm)
- Custom Tweet Stream Viewer (http://codepen.io/nakome/pen/wbyhd)
- Wikipedia Viewer (http://codepen.io/hugolpz/pen/ByoKOK)
- D3 GDP Visualization (https://www.quandl.com/api/v1/datasets/FRED/GDP.json)
- Twitch Channel Broadcasting Checker (DONE!)
- Local Weather widget (DONE!)
- Trello card visualizer (DONE!)
- Simple JS calculator (DONE!)
- Random Quote Button (DONE!)
- Tic Tac Toe game (DONE!)
