had fun making it
learnt how to use rest apis better and make my own
also learnt how to make a ui that actually looks good :-)
Further refinement.
New share icon which fits in better with the app, custom 404 page, custom error page, permanent favicon replacing the old temporary one.
Also, now instead of a refresh button you now browse through headlines with a back and forward error, so if you accidentally skip an interesting story you can get back to it.
I also added a bug report button to the settings menu which opens a GitHub issue with the bug report template.

General polish.
Improved visibility on the text of pills. I also remove the shields from bottom left and just put them in the README on GH

Added these things called Pills for selecting categories of news headlines. Dont worry, I made them disable-able with the new settings menu. Additionally I added opt-in Google Analytics and a consent banner for EU/GDPR compliance. I also added 4 more endpoints to the API, and the API is now used in between the frontend app and newsapi.org, for some reason. I also wrote a cookie policy, which is available on the GitHub repo and there is a link to it on the consent banner. Lastly, I added text to the share button so people know they are sharing the headline and not the jtn website.

Added alot of things.
I also “fixed” a pesky hydration error caused by dark theme (i just suppressed it)

currently the main frontend for viewing headlines is working, so i set up a small API for getting news headlines. it is free to use (hopefully forever unless my newsapi account gets restricted and i plan to add more endpoints soon
