#NASA Astronomy Photo of the Day API and Rails ##Women Who Code DC This is a demo app built to show how to incorporate the NASA APOD API into a Rails app, for Women Who Code DC.

This is a great jumping off point. Other things you can do to improve the app include:
- Enable a "choose date" feature to view past photos
- Cache media in database
- "Jump to Random Date" photo generator
- Games?
The possibilities are endless!
Major credit goes to Barrett Clark, who concieved the idea of the app as a learning opportunity and helped with the original build.
