  • allowing users to "favorite" which news sources are their favorites and aggregate those sources together into one dashboard.
  • letting users search for top stories from the different news sources (like CNN, CNBC, HackerNews, etc.)

Clone down this repository. You will need react installed globally on your machine.

To Start Server, navigation to React app folder and run:

Reflection

This is a personal project I built to start learning React. During the course of this project, I gained knowledge of creating React components, passing props between the components, and rendering them to the DOM. I also gained familiarity with JavaScript's fetch api and processing the json data returned in the promise.

Currently, the application uses the following technologies: React, HTML, CSS.

The application was originally created using the start-react-app boilerplate to minimize setup time.
