React + WordPress

I wanted to make a React app that has a real use for me. I realised that way too often I find myself just sitting on the couch and watching TV or scrolling through social media. I decided to make an app that would inspire me to do all the different things I enjoy. The app has a Random Life Generator which I can use to raffle off some fun for my life. If I want to search for activities, I can do that too.

I wanted to fetch the data for these fun activities from a WordPress site so that I can easily add more funs to my list through WordPress. Because this is such a simple application, I thought it was best to do the frontend with React only and use headless WordPress as a backend and content managament system. The data is fetched from WordPress’s JSON API.
