There seems to only be a handful of quotes, because you hard-coded your own quote database instead of using an API, which I believe is what they wanted you to do. It looks nice but I wouldn’t say it’s functionally similar to the example. Nor would I say that it fulfills the user stories “new random quote” requirement.

Hi TLand,

Actually I did not get it that way, unlike the next project (Local Weather) where they tell you clearly to use an API, this project left it open, I guess.

Anyway, thank you for your comments.

Hey!  
Well done! I like the idea.  
Now pair words about the design:

1. images . Keep proportions of any image. It is very important.
2. Text. Try to use any simple text. For example any sans-serif.  
I hope it will help you. 🙂  
Let’s make the web better place!
