Overview

The challenge

Build out an IP Address Tracker app and get it looking as close to the reference design as possible. IP Address locations use the IP Geolocation API by IPify. The map uses LeafletJS.

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for each page depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• See their own IP address on the map on the initial page load
• Search for any IP addresses or domains and see the key information and location
