Florida Man Horoscope

This website is my Final Project for CS50 Edx Course 2020.

My goal was to create a website that would show a user their "Florida Man Horoscope", which I had learned about years back. A Florida Man Horoscope is created by typing in your date of birth into Google + "Florida Man" and the list of headlines that return are your horoscope. (Here's an example.)

Origin of the Meme: Know Your Meme

Video Demo of Website: Link

To accomplish this I built a web-scraper that would search for 'Florida Man' headlines and save the results from every day of the year (including leap year). I put those results into a database and any user can query them while searching the website.

Tools I used to create website:

• Python (link)
• Sqlite3 (link)
• Flask (link)
• Heroku (link)
• VS Code (link)

Thanks to all the mods and students from CS50 Discord who helped me along the way!
