PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BORED API IS NO LONGER RESPONDING TO OUR FETCH REQUESTS AND IS RETURNING A FAILED 500 STATUS. Please still visit our deployed app to checkout our other features and functionality!
AS A USER who is very bored and may or may not be ignorant about certain activities, I WANT an activity randomly recommended for me, with or without parameters of my choosing, and relevant wikipedia definitions and links of said activity SO THAT I will no longer be bored or ignorant! WikiOnBored is a resource to help you find an activity when you are bored. Upon entering WikiOnBored, it will ask you for your preferences (if you'd like) when searching for an activity to do and will then return with something you could do to end your boredom. We utilized the BoredAPI (https://www.boredapi.com/) to generate our activities, and we use the WikiAPI (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page). Under your generated activity, information from articles on Wikipedia relating to your activity will display to give you more information if needed. After doing your activity, you can head over to the "JOURNAL" page and log how your activity went. In the future, we'd like to allow users to post their experience and share with others. You can add your activity to favorites with the button below your generated activity, which is saved to local storage and is accessible from the "FAVORITES" tab.
Please see our deployed app on Github pages. Note that Bored API is returning failed 500 status fetch requests at this time and therefore the activity generator is currently unavailable. Please check the overall page and working features, such as the journal!
This project utilizes HTML, CSS, Javascript, Materialize framework, and jQuery. Fetch requests were made to the two APIs mentioned above (BoredAPI and WikiAPI).

This site is designed to help users with boredom, and show them any information they may need to find out anything they don't know about the activity through articles shown when an activity is generated. With the Journal and Favorites features, this site excels at usefulness for the bored.
