A web news aggregation stack based on Next.js / React.js and NewsAPI

The Next News Project

Originally created as a proof-of-concept project driven by the Next.js framework that uses React.js library and is designed for Node.js environment.

The project's goal is a news feed aggregation web site driven by the News API.

Project Features

• The project is built upon Next.js web framework. It uses Next's standard setup with modern-state React library.

• Most of stateful React components are class-free, maintaining internal state via hooks, a relatively new addition to React.

• Application global state is maintained with a help of ReactN module, which extends the concept of hooks to the global scope, eliminating the need of separate global state handling libraries, such as Redux and friends.

• Less CSS pre-processing is used, making sure it works just fine within the Next stack.

• Serverless deployment using free Now cloud platform, continuously-integrated with this GitHub repository.

• The data comes from the NewsAPI via an external proxy that provides caching and some custom presets.
