Makes a word cloud ☁ out of a given subreddit.

word-cloud-subreddit's Issues

Eliminate linking keywords, their capital cases and punctuations.

We're currently checking for "the",",",".","&","AND","And","A","An","The","with","to", "To", "and","for","For", "a", "an" but that's obviously not nice. We should have the main keywords in one list, and punctuations in a different one. We should also check for the capital cases of words.

Add dark mode switch to the web page

The new colors don't matter; you can pick anything you want for now. We can change that later. What matters now is having the functionality of theme switching.

The button could be something like: https://dribbble.com/shots/10492788-Toggle-animation-Light-Dark-theme but it doesn't have to be as complicated/animated.

Add validations to not submit empty form

Currently, there is a flaw in the application that if someone clicks "make a cloud" button without any text in input, it will keep loading forever...

I want to add validation for the same, please assign me this issue

Replace Bootstrap with CSS Flexbox

Bootstrap load time is making the website load slower. Since it's a one-page app, it is more efficient to just use a couple of lines of CSS flexbox to do the centering.

Scrape more than the first page of each subreddit

This code currently fetches the main page of the given subreddit (link + "json"). It would be nice to scrape older pages so that the word cloud is richer with words and their frequencies.

Replace the colors with CSS variables

There's only one stylesheet and it's quite short. It would be nice to have all the current colors replaced with CSS variables so they're easily changed in the future.

For guidance on CSS variables, please check https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_custom_properties

Add a spinner/loader to show while the word-cloud is loading

As you can see, there's some delay. This emptiness can be replaced with a loader/spinner.
Please stick to native CSS (no frameworks or libraries). Refer to https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_loader.asp for guidance.

Eliminate the linking keywords (the, and, a, an, etc.)

The dictionary of occurrences currently has all words and does no filtering whatsoever. It would be nice to eliminate the linking English words like the, and, a, an etc.
