• Phase 1 - Static

  • Title
  • Featured Image
  • First 100 characters of blog post
  • A button going to the blog at https://hackupstate.medium.com/
• Phase 2 - Dynamic
  • Install rss to json npm package

Phase 1 - Static

For branch naming, call this feature/static-medium-blog

For the first step, create a simple 3 column layout that displays the top 3 blog posts. You can utilize the Testimonials section for this. We want to display the following based on the screenshot below.

1. Title
2. Featured image
3. First 100 characters of the blog post
4. A button going to the blog at https://hackupstate.medium.com/

Phase 2 - Dynamic

For branch naming, call this feature/dynamic-medium-blog

For step two, use Medium feed (https://medium.com/feed/@hackupstate) to display the same items as the static.

You will need the rss-to-json npm package to convert the RSS to JSON so that we can use it on the site.
