This is a small news summary app, built to demonstrate my JavaScript frontend web app skills. It is my solution to Makers Academy's week 7 weekend challenge.
I've created an app that shows the latest news using the Guardian API.
My app grabs all the headlines from the Guardian newspaper API and displays them on a page. Clicking on a headline will link the user to the actual article page on the Guardian's website.
It's a single page web app, written in frontend JavaScript, CSS and HTML.
- Clone the code:

- Next I extended the features to include pictures for each story, and a basis search function (working with single words)
- Next steps, not yet implemented, will be as follows:
- Implement a reset button to recover the top stories after completing a search
- Implement multi-word search
- Deliver the following user stories:
