Closed 
August 25, 2023

Requirements

  • Show a feed of recent news articles
  • Allow users to search for articles related to a specific topic

Brief

In today’s world it can be difficult to filter through the news to find things you’re interested in.

We want you to build an application or service that allows users to enter a news topic they want to hear about. The application provides them with recent news stories about that topic, and updates them on new stories as they’re released.

They could view these stories on a webpage, or receive updates through email or another channel (and unsubscribe if they wish). Perhaps they can filter the news sources they wish to receive updates from. You can decide how users receive these news stories, and what they can do with it.

You can choose which programming languages and/or frameworks to use based on your expertise and chosen approach. Our advice is to complete this task in a way which shows your strengths.
