PR #70

@bigintersmind Fixed that typo in the code. Thanks for pointing that out.

@matthewmayer Done! Updated screen capture.

Would it be possible to change the style to ASCII so it matches the current theme? It sticks out a lot at the moment

I'll give it a shot!

Is "Controll" an intended misspelling (to include "troll" perhaps), or a typo?

@skridlevsky Should be fixed now, I hope. The video shows the output expected. Thanks for the help!

@hpinsley It works locally because localhost is exempt from CORS restrictions in most browsers — the Same-Origin Policy doesn't block requests from localhost the same way it does from a deployed domain.

In production on Vercel, the client-side fetch to rss.nytimes.com gets blocked because NYT doesn't include Access-Control-Allow-Origin in their response headers.

Fix: move the RSS fetch to a Next.js API route (e.g. /api/rss) so it runs server-side, then have the component fetch from that instead. Server-side requests aren't subject to CORS.

@skridlevsky That's strange. I picked this feed as I thought it was allowing all CORS origins. It seems to work for me when running locally:

Am I missing something?

@hpinsley, cool concept! The preview shows just the placeholder though - RSS fetch is hitting CORS since it's client-side:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/World.xml. (Reason: CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' missing).

Moving it to an API route would fix it.

Files changed: 4 (package.json, package-lock.json, src/app/page.tsx, src/components/WorldChaos.tsx)

Impact: Medium - Adds a new feature to the homepage, introduces a new dependency, and fetches external data.

@matthewmayer Haha yeah. Felt the breadth and scope of the headlines would lend itself to the ambiance and spirit of the site. ;-)

I was intrigued to see how you were explicitly going to find news about world chaos, only to find this is literally just the NY Times World News feed. Accurate.

Add a component that polls the world for chaos and display's a one-liner on the page.
