Introduction

The NJC Reader is a full stack web app that is an evolution of the NJC GP News Feed. This web app represents an improvement on earlier iterations in the following ways:

• Cleaner back end code compared to previous version
• SvelteKit for a better front end experience for users
• Utilizing an actual database and the capabilities that such platforms provide, instead of Google Sheets

• User management (to be implemented)
• Monitoring of teaching classes (to be implemented)
