A small single page javascript news app that parses real news articles using the Guardian API. It then summarises and displays the articles using Aylien API.
(We're assuming you're on a mac, vaguely know what you're doing and that you have homebrew installed. Install homebrew here. This isn't overly helpful but we've been learning for only 7 weeks so be gentle)
This cracking installation needs Node. In your terminal run:
brew install node
cd file/location/of/napkin-notes
npm install
node beNoughty
Check Out:

and Voila! Useless news for your delectation!
As a busy politician
I can see all of today's headlines in one place
So I know what the big stories of the day are
As a busy politician
I can read a summary of a news article
So I can get a few more details about an important story
As a busy politician
I can read a full news article
So that I can get an in depth understanding of a very important story
As a busy politician
I can see a picture to illustrate each news article when I browse headlines
So that I have something nice to look at
As a busy politician
I can read the site comfortably on my phone
Just in case my laptop breaks
As a busy politician
I can see whizzy animations in the app
To make my news reading more fun
