The last semester of my Engineering has been going on and then the covid-19 outbreak happened๐. Hope all of you are doing well๐
While being locked down, I was getting bored๐ด and decided to build something and then the idea๐ก of a news app popped up, a news webapp that gives you all the latest COVID-19 news of India from leading news sources in a short summarized form at a single platform.
During this development period, a lot of COVID-19 related apps launched and most of them were Tracker, still I wanted to see what I can come up within around one and a half week ๐
The Backend recursively scrapes the latest COVID-19 news and then passes it to the Text Summarization AI model API which results in short summarized clutter-free news.
Backend serves the news through the REST API.
The backend is written in Node js and Express js, The client-side is written in React.js.
In the Client Side, I used crowdsourced COVID-19 patient data to create a COVID-19 tracker Dashboard which shows the latest updated daily and cumulative data using charts, State-wise data is shown in table form which gives the latest updated numbers.
Frontend consumes the news API to show the text-based news. The news can be shared with the WhatsApp Messaging app using the share button and it also consumes the Youtube API for video news.
The App is fully responsive in nature and deployed here
