even though their api is not very performant (have to do double set of gets)

if I store the latest feeds in a collection, then there is less of an issue with the nested http get calls
might need to revisit the idea of async looping function

cch5ng commented 8 years ago

this poses some questions about how to handle multiple data sources in a react-meteor application options:

store retrieved feeds in state (this seems most logical if the application is regularly polling remote servers)
store retrieved feeds in a single collection
- not too crazy about this because then there is dupe data like how to store and display the feed source, which is typically required by the content providers (TOS)

tested proof of concept with nytimes rss

able to add second ReactDOM.render() function call in rss-read-aloud-meteor-react.jsx
for now, using separate collections per feed source
components defined in NYTApp.jsx
- want to abstract out some redundant components like Feed and FeedList

TODO: update the setInterval function to update hacker news stories
- ensure that I'm not inserting dupes
NICE: since it is not efficient to display description, maybe include info like the score or number comments?
(done) added initial download and display
