Positive Press (Frontend)

My BSc Final Year Project. I created a web app that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyse news headlines and provide a curated feed of news ranked by positivity. This is the responsive frontend app, built in NextJS to demonstrate the utility of the APIs.


Rational for the project:

There is a growing body of evidence that negative news can have a detrimental effect on mental health. This site was created to provide a curated feed of news that is ranked by positivity. The project uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyse news headlines and provide a curated feed of news ranked by positivity. The frontend is built using NextJS and TailwindCSS and the project is deployed on Vercel.

Technologies used:

NextJS
TypeScript
TailwindCSS
Jest - Component Testing

Deployment:
