A simple newsreader app using Compose Desktop.

The app fetches the latest news from newsapi.org and shows a list of articles.

Status: in development

NewsApi.org account and API key

The application uses free APIs from NewsApi.org. These APIs require an API key.

The project looks for the environment variable NEWSAPI_ORG_API_KEY when compiling.

Here's how to obtain one and set up the project:

1. Go to newsapi.org to create an account and get an API key.
2. Use this API key to create an environment variable NEWSAPI_ORG_API_KEY in your platform.

If you are running directly from IntelliJ IDEA, this is easy to do by going to Run | Edit Configurations... and adding the environment variable under the selected configuration (See the "Compile & Run" section below).

Compile & Run

If you have the environment variable setup, just do:

$ ./gradlew run

From IntelliJ Idea, go to Run | Edit Configurations..., and add a new "Gradle" configuration. Under Run choose "run". Add the environment variable NEWSAPI_ORG_API_KEY in the Environment variable section.
