Alex Carrie's ncNEWS

Welcome to the front-end app for Alex Carrie's ncNEWS, a demo news app created using my own api and data from Northcoders. The project has a default, logged-in user, jessjelly. This is used to post comments on the articles, which can be deleted.

This project is a demonstration for the use of react, node and axios to create a simple, responsive App.

Node v13.11.0 is the minimum version required to run this app.
