I Built This πŸ› οΈ

Let’s highlight some of the work that our Scrimba community members have completed!

Jordan has created an awesome drink recipe search app that utilizes TheCocktailDB API to allow users to search for drinks based upon what ingredients they want to use as well as filter out ingredients they don’t like. They can also save drink recipes for later. Jordan has designed for mobile, but it’s also responsive enough to be used on desktop!

Well done! Want to try it out yourself? Check out the live site here.

What have you built this week? Share it with us in the πŸ‘·i-built-this channel!
