This is a photo widget that displays photos from your Flickr feed (or someone else’s).

Photo Widget App (Flickr API)

First of all, you can find this project's tutorial here.

In this project I:

• Used Ruby to implement a photo widget app using Flickr API;
• Used HTML and CSS to create the views;
• Used Flickr API to get photos from Flickr;
• Used Figaro gem for my secret and ID protection;
• Used flickraw gem to get helper methods to get the user and display his/her photos;
• Set up a code linter in the repository;
• Used gitflow;
• Created an effective Ruby code that solved the problem;
• Applied Ruby coding best practices;
• Implemented basic OOP principles;
• Have an organized project structure;
• Used common Ruby patterns;
• Chose a simple solution over a more complex one.

What it does

When the App is executed, you can search for an user's ID and display his Flickr's photos. For an easy example, you can use my Flickr ID: 188655404@N06.
