Description:

Pulls artist information from philart, an API that tracks all public art projects in the city of Philadelphia. I implemented some simple artist filtering and pagination. When you click on an artist it navigates to a second page that shows the artist's projects in a thumbnail gallery. Below each gallery I provide a map of Philadelphia with the art projects displayed as markers.

Some obvious limitations of the app:

• No type-checking - In the interest of time I chose not to use TypeScript
• No persistent state - I implemented a simple Router but ran out of time so you keep losing state between route navigation
• Wanted to implement a simple auth flow to save favorites but also ran out of time on that one
