Devlog 3

I have expanded support from Wikipedia to more sources like Wired, BBC, The Verge, etc… It took a while because I had to learn how to use npm and the rss-parser library.

Bugs 🐛

• Confused between which variable to use for selecting the articles (i.e. sources vs feed vs article in article.js)

Changes

• I added rss links for each source
• Drafted a README file
• Learned how to use async functions to reduce load times
• Learned how to use Vercel CLI to test backend api code.
• Learned type module for Javascript.
• Also learned that I need to use `` instead of “” when using/embedding variables like response.status.
• Also spent a lot of time trying to make the category feature work where users can which categories they want for the random articles.
• Choosing which CSS selectors to use so that the category buttons have the proper hover and active transitions

Future Plans

• Add a link to the project’s github.
• More sources/categories!
