Let's take a look at NYT-React-Search

• The first page of the application allows users to search news (in this case we use New York Time API)

• Once the data come back from NYT API then the application renders the results and allows users to save interesting news to read later. Users can specify start and end year.

• Users can go to "Saved News" to add notes and delete news or notes.
