ProPublica Scrapper

This app uses Axios a browser based HTTP client to access content upon ProPublica's webpage. This content is then manipulated and displayed to the user.

Problem solved

1. How to access different content across a variety of sites without actually having to physically visit each site.
2. How to store data without creating redundant enteries.
3. How do we allow the user to attach comments/likes to data.
