What I learned

Through this project, I have practiced Axios, a promised based HTTP client for node.js and the browser, the Async function. And how to scale a text to fit inside an element.

06-08-22 added fetch() method, and {catch : no catch} which solved the problem of no response of browsers (in my case, firefox). The cache property. Special thanks to @elaineleung and @anas-cd for Advice.

Continued development

I am not sure I used correctly Axios and the async function.

• [x] The page is working in Chrome but not responding in firefox after the first request. 06-08-22 Resolved.
• [ ] Some advice contains spcial charactors that can't be present correctly. There must be a solution for this.

Useful resources

• Text Scaling - Some advice has too much text that may cross the divider, this site helps me to fit the text inside the container.
