Future Improvements
Conclusively, what was set out to be accomplished was achieved. However there is scope for improvement within the project, here are some areas I would change or improve in future iterations;
- Search Functionality - The ability to search for specific keywords or articles is something I would like to see since it would smoothen the overall user experience.
- Additional Page Functionality - There are areas of the page that could use some love, space on the page could be utilized allowing for additional components to exist alongside the stories.
- Test Coverage - While the significant units of the application are covered by tests, there are areas that are lacking in testing, I would make sure to include at least some more tests to address this.
- Mobile Friendlyness - Following deployment, I noticed that some features don't work as intended on mobile, especially the header. I would include some CSS/SCSS to make sure it appears as intended on mobile devices.
