The DevKit module "News" displays the latest news headlines, based on the personal interest and allows you to add them to your read later list. It's part of a collection of Open Source modules for the COBI.bike system.
The quickest way to test the module via Glitch.com:
Glitch.com allows you to edit, host and fork Node.js applications for quick prototyping.
Follow the installation step 2 to 3 and copy the environment variables to the: .env file on Glitch.com
This module utilizes Newsapi.org to poll the latest news from various news outlets. The Node.js backend acts as a Newsapi.org proxy and serves a static page to the client, which allows the user to switch between headlines, read its description and add it to his read-later list.
