brombaut / article-tracker

Front-end to help track articles I have read and articles I would like to read.

Ben's Article Tracker

Deployed at https://brombaut.github.io/article-tracker/
A simple tool I use to keep track of tech-related articles I have read and articles I would like to read.

Version 1 Tasks

Below is a list of features/functionality that I think would be worth implementing in the future:

• Show dates, not epochs
• Show last clicked date
• Stats (read vs unread, articles read this week, month, year, etc)
• Cookie/local storage to stay signed in
• Filter by Read/Not Read, not just sort
• Number of articles shown in the table (Pagination?)
• Update font
• 'Read Today' indicator
• Automate scraping Title from actual article page
• Add a 'N Minute Read' field, automate scraping that aswell
• Refresh button - useful if I want to quickly hit the DB for any updates that I might have made on another computer
• 'I'm feeling lucky' - Open random unread article button
• [LAST MAJOR FEATURE] Scrape tags on articles (include colours and link to dev.to tag. Clicking the tag takes you to the dev.to site with that taf filter applied)

Future Work

• Click Count
• Edit Records
• Filter on tags
• Investigate whether CORS anywhere is needed
• Refactor the article container and article table components. They've grown too much
• Write script to auto scrape tags and title for all existing articles that don't have them
• Most popular tags
