Quote Machine Pure JS

Try out the live demo here: https://jimtheman.github.io/Quote-Machine-Pure-JS/

This is a simple quote generator web app that displays funny jokes and allows them to be posted to Twitter.

It's techincally not "pure" JavaScript as I did bring in JQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome, but at least I didn't use a SPA framework. ;)

I built this as a solution to one of the exercises for Free Code Camp, but it was also just for me to get away from all the Angular / React SPA frameworks and go back to the nostaglic days of script tags, JQuery selectors, and $(document).ready listeners (though I didn't miss it that much hehe).

Credits: Big thanks to Dylan Neil for giving me the code for implementing a 'post to twitter' button with ease. If you're curious, here's how I'm doing it:

$("#tweet-btn").on("click", function() { window.open("https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" + currentQuote); });
