Hi everyone! 👋
I recently completed a simple US News Aggregator website — and here's the interesting part: I didn't write a single line of code myself!
I used Gemini AI to guide me through the entire process.
It was a really cool experience where I combined AI's coding capabilities with my ideas to bring a small project to life. 🚀
🌟 What the Website Does
It shows news articles from different sources.
You can filter news based on categories like technology, sports, health, etc.
Clicking on a news article redirects you to the original source to read the full story.
Users can comment on any news article — but for that, they need to log in (either using username/password or Google Login). 🔒
🔧 Tech Stack
I (well, Gemini AI and I) used the MERN stack:
MongoDB (Database)
Express.js (Server-side framework)
React.js (Frontend)
Node.js (Backend runtime)
🤖 How AI Helped
I relied entirely on Gemini AI for:
Setting up the backend and frontend structure
Writing all the code for authentication, fetching news, filtering by categories
Handling Google login integration
Deploying the app
It was more about collaborating with AI — giving it clear instructions and guiding the overall flow — rather than writing code line-by-line myself.
🎯 Why I Did This
I wanted to see how far AI can go in helping a beginner or non-coder build something real.
It turned out to be an amazing learning experience, and it boosted my confidence that with the right tools, building things is becoming more accessible to everyone.
