Dive into a world of current events and stories with News Reader! This application is designed for those who seek to stay informed with the latest news in an engaging and interactive manner.

News Reader is a simple app that lets you catch up on the latest headlines and articles in categories you care about. It aggregates articles from the News API, presenting users with the latest news articles including headlines, images, descriptions, and publishing dates. The app provides a detailed view for each article and a way to filter or search through the news feed.

This project was developed as part of the Turing School of Software and Design curriculum. It serves as a take-home challenge simulating a real-world coding interview assignment. The task was to create a minimum viable product (MVP) that is user-friendly, clear in information presentation, and straightforward in navigation.
