Project Description

The spark for this project came when I first learned about the Google Youtube Data API and it's extensive set of features. Built using React.js, this simple web application allows a user to pick any point on the Earth's surface, specify a radius around that point, and find the highest-viewed YouTube video that's been geotagged nearby.
