Project context
I'm a devoted Stack Overflow (SO) enthusiast with approximately 2.6k reputation points on the platform. SO is a remarkably well-engineered site. However, I wanted to efficiently identify high-quality questions within a specified timeframe. In this context, 'good questions' typically refer to those that receive three or more upvotes.
As far as I'm aware, Stack Overflow's user interface lacks the functionality to easily search for questions based on the aforementioned criteria. For instance, I sought the ability to locate questions with five or more upvotes, tagged with 'javascript' and 'react,' and asked within the past two weeks.
After reviewing Stack Overflow's API documentation, I discovered a way to retrieve data that met my criteria. The subsequent steps primarily involved designing a user-friendly interface. To enhance the user experience, I also incorporated tag validation; for instance, 'javaxd' is not a valid tag.
Final thoughts
It was an enjoyable project to undertake. I delved into Stack Overflow's API documentation and honed my React/CSS skills. I periodically use this application to discover valuable questions and further my learning.
