Random Quote Machine CodePen does not work

[no-stack-dub-sack]

@wjhurley hmmm, try again maybe? The app is definitely not broken. New quotes and twitter buttons both work fine for me! It could be that the API that's being used to fetch the quotes was experiencing some down time.

Let me know if this is solved on your end as well.

Thanks.

EDIT: your fork also works fine

My fork worked when I originally submitted this issue. That was why I created the fork, to show the solution to the problem. The app does work now. That is because someone fixed the code. The JSON.parse() function is now wrapped in an if statement and a Tumblr link has been added.

@wjhurley yup, you're right. The pen was recently edited. Something must have changed with the API because this app had been working for over a year just fine prior to this. There is one more place where the code needs to be updated on freeCodeCamp's CodePen, so thanks for pointing this out.
