NewsBuzz is a social-news aggregation app in the style of Reddit, allowing users to view, vote and comment on articles... and more!
You can watch a short video of me demonstrating the app here, or play with the live app here... otherwise read on!
This project was built as part of the amazing Northcoders Full-Stack Software Developer Bootcamp with the aim of demonstrating skills including:
- Programming in JavaScript and React
- Developing using HTML and CSS, inc. responsive web design
- Building a RESTful Web API
- Interacting with PSQL databases
- Developing using TDD
The corresponding backend for this project can be found here.
- View all articles
- View a specific article
- Filter, sort and/or order articles via queries
- View, post and delete comments on articles
- Upvote or downvote an article
- View all users
The web app is live and waiting to be played with! Please bear in mind the backend is hosted on Render's free tier, so there may be a slight delay on first waking up.
