The idea of the project

The main idea of the project is to build a News feed-like application that collects news from all popular sources with an option to disable news from specific sources.

How everything should work:

The algorithm that a new user should follow consists of the following:

1. Open the login page, choose the Create account option
2. Get redirected to the Sign Up page, fill in the form with an existing email and press the Create account button
3. Receive an email with a link
4. Get redirected to the login page, enter the newly created credentials and press login
5. Get redirected to the Main Page, where the user can see all the news from various sources. The user can click on an article to open it and read it. The user can also search for specific articles by keyword and date
6. In order to disable news from specific sources, the user should hover onto his profile in the top right corner and choose the My news option. The user will be redirected to the My news page, where he can disable news from a specific source by clicking the On+/Off- button. He can also search for a specific author by using the Search input box next to the Disable news from specific websites header.
