Today marks one quarter of the challenge. I think I should publish the first version of the application on the fifth day of the challenge. I think it is a good idea because I want to get feedback and share my project with the community. Also, I want to engage more people in collaboration.

What I did:

Today was a tough day. I investigated the API call that I need to use to react on an article. I also planned to use it to create bookmarks for articles. I created the client logic call, added a method to the repository, created a use case for it, and implemented a simple invocation in the screen model. As a result, I got a 401 error on to request. I tried to use the api-key mentioned in the documentation. Additionally, I tried to use the authentication token that I found during web inspection, but I got the same result.

 What have I done wrong? I checked another API call from the documentation with the same api-key, and I got a normal response with a body. I think there may be a problem with this endpoint. What should I do in this case? I am planing to test that case with Postman, prepare shared links with calls, and write to people who can respond for backend help.

It's a good opportunity to practice communication skills, present my project, and find new connections.

What I will do:

• Add Detekt(a static code analysis tool) to the project.
• Update README file with description of project.
• Create a GitHub project to manage the tasks for future collaboration.
• Fix comment element
• Implementation of WebView to display stub content
• Theme configuration for Lottie animation

If you want to join the project, just leave a comment here, or write a message in LinkedIn.
