This project was for me to learn how to create a website that will continously load photos as you scroll.
This project is from Zero to Mastery: Jacascript Web Projects: 20 Projects to Build Your Portfolio. This is project 2 / 20.
This is a pretty useful skill to learn I think. A lot of websites today use infinite scrolling, or lazy loading, to constantly show new items / elements to a user. This eliminates the need for pagination and can make browsing easier.
You can view a live version here. If you would like to run this locally, you will need an API key, which you can get for free from the steps below.
