Nothing News Network

A playful AI-powered news generator that turns trivial events into absurd broadcast headlines.

Project structure

• Backend/server.js - Express backend serving the frontend and /api/generate-news.
• Frontend/index.html - Static UI and AI prompt/frontend logic.
• .env.example - Example environment file for the secret API key.

Local setup

1. Copy .env.example to .env:

   copy .env.example .env

2. Add your Groq API key to .env:

   GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here
   

3. Install dependencies from the project root:

   npm install

4. Start the app:

   npm start

5. Open the app:

   http://localhost:3000
   

Deployment

This app is ready for deployment to any Node.js-compatible host.

• The root package.json includes a start script:
  • npm start runs Backend/server.js
• The backend serves the static frontend automatically.
• Keep the .env file secret and do not commit it.

Notes

• If your browser opens Live Server on port 5500, use http://localhost:3000 instead.
• Make sure GROQ_API_KEY is defined in .env before starting the server.
