Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)
It was quite a while since I had done a personal hands-on project. One random day I landed on the GitHub+DEV hackathon page, and boom! Motivation flowed to learn more about GitHub while building something new and quick for myself. Currently the website is not in a very polished state, but I intend to keep working on it and improving it!
How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)
While going through the GitHub+DEV hackathon article, I noticed something called GitHub Codespaces. I had never tried this before, so I quickly started going through its docs to satisfy my curiosity and get started on a project.
GitHub Codespaces was incredibly easy to use, and it got me started for my React app in no time! I wanted to build something quacky and fun for myself, so I decided to go for a news website, which I can use all the time and keep adding features which I like.
I really had fun participating in the hackathon, and I am going to keep using GitHub Codespaces for more projects, as it requires much less time and overhead than setting up a project environment locally!
Additional Resources/Info
The project uses a news api with limited number of API requests, will plan to improve the UI in this case in future!
