• Rename the secrets.sample.properties file to secrets.properties and fill the GUARDIAN_API_KEY and NEWS_API_KEY properties.

GUARDIAN_API_KEY="Your API key"
NEWS_API_KEY="Your API key"

List loading strategy is faulty

The same list of news is being loaded for different categories. This might be fixed using a transormation function from LiveData.

Use Material Design

The current UI and UX for the app is not that good. Implement Material Design 2.0 in the app and focus on making the app crisp and beautiful.
