Initialized project, completed frontend foundation, worked on backend and added basic api routes, auth routes.
A website made for a competition where teams have to trade stocks wisely to win!
Built the entire Orbital platform from scratch — a sleek, fully front-end space travel booking site.
Designed all core pages: index.html, explore.html, profile.html, signin.html, about.html.
Implemented a dummy sign-in/signup system using localStorage to simulate user auth.
Developed a full mission booking flow:
- Users can view detailed mission data from missions.json.
- Book a mission with fake credit card info.
- See all booked missions displayed in their profile dashboard.
Added wishlist functionality, allowing missions to be saved and viewed later.
Styled everything with glassmorphism & blur effects using style.css.
Wrote custom explore.js, signin.js, mission.js and profile.js to handle dynamic behaviors.
Structured mission data with real-world details like tags, durations, inclusions, launch options, etc.
Created final README.md.
Orbital is a futuristic space exploration booking platform that lets users browse, book, and manage missions to otherworldly destinations — from Mars and Titan to zero-gravity flights. Designed with a sleek space-themed UI and smooth interactions, Orbital is a front-end-only demo site with no real transactions.
Somehow last devlog bugged out and only recorded 2 minutes of work!
I did all that in the time for this devlog!
Finished frontend, hosted the API on Render, added the API link to the frontend code. The API is a little bumpy right now, so it may not work as expected.
Finished backend, started working on API and also added some touches (popups) in frontend. I think it's coming well together! Also deployed backend on render.
First devlog! Made the whole frontend design layout + finished the index, and started work on the explore page. Started working on the python-based backend too.
This was widely regarded as a great move by everyone.
