 # Git Practice

+### Interesting Article

+**https://dev.to/mukeshkuiry/12-free-and-fun-api-for-your-next-project-5eem**
+I think this is a cool article because it includes APIs that I wouldn't otherwise be likely to find. I think the cats are silly and cute, I'm unsure how I could use them in a project, maybe on a personal website. I also like the advice slip API, I think that could work very nicely with a loading screen. The Trivia API could also be good for a loading screen, or even as the base for a game on it's own. As I was going through the options of this article, I found it interesting how I never would have individually searched for any of these APIs. But being presented with them inspired little ideas on how to incorporate them into larger projects, it's a nice creative push.
