What I learned

Had plenty of fun doing this challenge, learned many things about javascript async/await and its behaviours. Had to use multiple APIs to complete the challenge. Definitely made me improve as a developer.

Continued development

Although I am quite happy and proud of this project, I think I can improve the error handling a little bit more and make it cleaner.

Useful resources

• Async/Await - Helped me understand the concepts behind async/await.
