Using the Fetch API and asynchronous JavaScript functions like async/await, jokes are dynamically retrieved and spoken aloud using the VoiceRSS API's text-to-speech feature. To enhance the user experience, the app features a clean and responsive design, compatible with desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.\n\n## Link to project:\n\n- Live Site URL: [Netlify](https://bk-joke-teller.netlify.app/)\n\n\u003c!-- Screenshot of the joke teller --\u003e\n\n## Screenshot\n\n### Mobile View\n\n![](/src/img/mobile-view.png)\n\n### Desktop View\n\n![](/src/img/desktop-view.png)\n\n## How It's Made:\n\n#### Tech used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Fetch API, VoiceRSS API\n\nThis project uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a simple but effective joke-telling web app. The Joke API is used to dynamically retrieve and display random jokes, while the Fetch API and asynchronous JavaScript functions like async/await are used to handle the data retrieval process. The VoiceRSS API is used to generate text-to-speech audio for each joke.\n\n## Optimizations:\n\nIn the future, I plan to further optimize the user experience with additional features, such as the ability to share jokes on social media platforms. Additionally, I aim to enhance the design using CSS frameworks like Bootstrap for greater customization and consistency.\n\n## Lessons Learned:\n\nThis project provided me with valuable experience in working with asynchronous JavaScript functions like async/await, as well as handling data retrieval and manipulation using the Fetch API. Additionally, I gained proficiency in using third-party APIs, and the text-to-speech feature provided by the VoiceRSS API.\n\n## Author\n\n- Github - [BK Pecho](https://www.github.com/bkpecho)\n- Twitter - [@bkpecho](https://www.twitter.com/bkpecho)\n- LinkedIn - [in/bkpecho](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bkpecho/)\n- FrontEnd Mentor - [BK Pecho](https://www.frontendmentor.io/profile/bkpecho)\n\n## For other examples of my work, check out these projects:\n\n- **Quote-Generator:** [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/bkpecho/quote-generator)\n- **Infinite Scroll:** [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/bkpecho/infinite-scroll)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbkpecho%2Fjoke-teller","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbkpecho%2Fjoke-teller","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbkpecho%2Fjoke-teller/lists"}
