# Bored: Your Instant Task Generator 🎲

Hey there! I'm **Awonke Mnotoza**, and welcome to **Bored**—your go-to solution for those moments when boredom strikes. Whether you're procrastinating, waiting in line, or just feeling a bit meh, **Bored** has your back! Let's dive into the details and get you unstuck! 🌟

## Overview

**Bored** is a web application that instantly generates random tasks for you. No more staring at the ceiling wondering what to do next! Here's how it works:

1. **Task Generation**: Click the button, and voilà! A new task appears. Not feeling it? Click again for another one.

2. **API Magic**: We've harnessed the power of the [Bored API](https://www.boredapi.com/) to bring you an endless supply of activities.

## Tech Stack

### Frontend

- **Next.js**: Our trusty frontend framework.

- **Typescript**: Handling those data types like a pro.

- **API Integration**: Fetching tasks from the [Bored API](https://www.boredapi.com/) at the following endpoint `api/activity`.

### Backend

- **No Backend Needed**: Yep, you read that right! I've keeping it simple and serverless.

## Getting Started

1. **Clone the Repository**: Get started by cloning this repository to your local machine.

2. **Install Dependencies**:

   - Make sure you have Node.js installed.

   - Run `npm install` to install project dependencies.

3. **Run the Application**:

   - Run `npm run dev` to start the development server.

   - Access the application at `http://localhost:3000`.

## Ways to Improve

- **Voice Assistant**: Imagine having a friendly voice read out your tasks. "Hey, how about learning to juggle today?"

- **UI Overhaul**: Spruce up the design. Add some colors, animations, and make it visually appealing.

- **Enhanced Functionality**: Maybe add categories (e.g., creative tasks, physical activities) or allow users to save their favorite tasks.
