I've collected a list of Improvements and New Features that need to be done. If you'd like to help by contributing to the project, you're more than welcome to!
First clone the repository:
https://github.com/ckrajewski/BentoCats
Open a terminal and cd into the BentoCats folder. Then:
npm install(installs the node modules and the TypeScript definition files)npm start
Your default browser should automatically open and redirect you to http://localhost:8080
It may open the tab before everything is loaded, but that's OK. After waiting for a bit, it should load :)
To take a close look at the front end code (React) feel free to use any text editor i.e. Sublime/Atom. Here's not the time to argue which is better :)
In case you have any comments, questions, bugs, enhancements feel free to open an issue in this repository.
- Add client-side testing (Jest)
- Add error handling
- Add ESLint
- Add TypeScript
- Look into PostCSS. Has lots of packages (like adding namespacing to stylized components)
- Seperate webpack into dev and prod configs
- Add better styling support for smaller sized images and gifs
- Get client feedback on UI. e.g. header colors could be less ugly :/
- Add infinite scrolling support in API Layer as well as in the front-end (in React)
- Add stenciling to show that resources (like images) are being loaded
