Repository for building a React App for listing Redit's top x entries

(I sort of made a typo on reddit on the repo name please don't pay too much attention to that 😅)

How to Run

• Ensure you're running the same version from the .nvmrc of Node
• Run npm i or yarn to install all dependencies
• Run npm run watch or yarn watch to run webpack dev server
• Enter http://localhost:8080 or where the console points you at from the output of webpack-dev-server to view the application running

Features

Each entry displays:

- Title (at its full length, so take this into account when sizing your cells)
- Author
- entry date, following a format like “x hours ago”
- A thumbnail for those who have a picture.
- Number of comments
- Unread status

In addition, for those having a picture (besides the thumbnail), please allow the user to tap on the thumbnail to be sent to the full sized picture.

What's Included

- App state-preservation/restoration
- Indicator of unread/read post (updated status, after post it’s selected)
- Dismiss Post Button (remove the cell from list. Animations required)
- Support split layout (left side: all posts / right side: detail post)
- Responsive design

Comments:

Each Item on the Sidebar can be Dismissed by hitting the × or by swiping to either the left or the right.

Ended up going slightly over 5 hours between pauses, should've been around 5h 25m approximately, Reddit api was not integrated as I failed to realize all endpoints require OAuth, and by the time I noticed integrating it into what I had built thus far wasn't possible, unless I sacrificed the rest of the missing UI so I decided to continue using static data with the same structure, so in the future if ever retaken the API can be seamlessly integrated.

Displaying of all Preview Images was something I was unable to complete, as I prioritized the rest of the UI over the preview capabilities which I intended to have either as a Slider or a Lightbox, but time didn't allow for either.
