Used AI for the NASA api, didnt want to read through all of the docs.

Added the ASCII style I talked about, used Ascii Postprocessing for three.js and some cool gsap text animation for the hacker / terminal feel. I pushed everything to vercel and connected my domain and then I’m going to test everything, if envs work etc.

First I went through some of the NASA API docs to find a cool idea and decided to build a cool ASCII styled website to visualize the asteroids that passed earth today using three.js.

First I created the layout and implemented it in nextjs. I chose a cool font and a color palette. Then I created the three.js screen with the help of react three fiber and some cool postprocessing. I also added a sections for infos of each asteroid. This style is only temporary and will soon be replaced with the ASCII one.
