RapidAPI

API marketplace for finding and connecting to the world's top APIs.

Research Since we had to come up with our own project ideas, I had to brainstorm for an existing problem in the society that could be solved. During this stage I also have to to consider a couple of factors like the kind of API I was going to use for the project. Eventually I came up with a problem statement and settled on a Crypto-News website. I decided I was going to use the Crypto-news API for my project, only to find out I needed to give my credit card information for me to use the API, so a few days to my presentation I had to change that to The Rapid API for the news data and CoinRanking API for the real-time Crypto prices of the top coins.

Dribbble

Shots from popular and up and coming designers in the Dribbble community, your best resource to discover and connect with designers worldwide.

Now normally, I would do a hi-fi design before I start the actual coding, but this time, the low fidelity design was enough to get me started. I wanted to get the logic right first, then focus on the UI details. Honestly, looking back, I don't think that's the best approach. At least for me its not. I drew some of my UI inspirations from Cointelegraph seeing as it is a crypto-news website, and Dribble - a very useful site to share and also get design inspiration.
