The Jurnl is a web app that will convert articles from a reading list into a journal. The file generated can be sent to an e-reader so the user can enjoy reading the selected articles on a distraction free device.

I had the idea when I was looking at my Pocket reading list and saw that it kept getting bigger. By creating a journal based on my saved articles, I can read them on a Kindle.

First time that I built a react application, it was an interesting project as I had to learn how to code the front-end but also the back-end with Express. Once the MVP worked on my computer, I had to learn how to setup the EC2 instances so the different services would be able to communicate with each other but also to have the app available online.

Tech stack:

• React app based on react-starter-kit.
• Backend built with Express API.
• Deployed on AWS.
