Give Me Hot

Give Me Hot is a internet content dashboard written using Java Spring Boot.

Year: February 2018
Language: Java
Libraries/Frameworks: Spring Boot

This was a personal landing page for my browser home tab.
It includes short summaries of sites I checked in 2018.
In the old world, this would just be an RSS feed, but the world unfortunately doesn't work like that anymore.

The page is made up of:

• 13 trending posts from Reddit
• 13 top questions from StackOverflow
• 5 recent items from The Gamer's Post
• 5 recent items from Slashdot
• 3 top streams from Twitch (where this used API access)
• Latest issue of Codrops Collective
• Latest news issue of Webdesigner Depot

Spring Boot, the framework this site was made in, is Java's web framework.
Java is one of the more stricter languages compared to my usual.
It gives you kind of a clean feeling; when you're being whipped into coloring within the lines.

Usually when making these archive pages I reinstall the project to see if it's still functional.
In the case of this Java project, I did not do so, as Java now requires account registration to install.

The links are what I used to frequent in 2017/2018.
The only place I frequent now is Hacker News, which I guess says more about my aging than anything else.
