Added Prettier to format the code before pushing

Added Prettier

We're excited to announce the latest release of our project, which includes a significant improvement to the code formatting process. Many of our users have reported struggling with maintaining consistent code formatting across the codebase, which can be time-consuming and frustrating. That's why we've added Prettier to our project, a code formatter that automates the process of ensuring consistent formatting throughout the project.

With this new addition, you no longer need to worry about formatting your code before pushing it to the repository. Prettier will handle it for you automatically, saving you time and effort. Plus, it enforces a consistent code style across the project, making it easier for other developers to read and understand the code.

Added new Category Other

We've created a new category named Other, this category is dedicated to resources related to technical writing, GitHub Markdowns, and other similar topics.

Adding detailed popup when clicked on link's card

Hi everyone!
This release includes a new feature that allows users to view more information about a card by clicking on a popup. Here are the key changes in this release:

• Added popup when clicking on a card to show more information
• Bug fixes and performance improvements
• Added language property for YouTube channel links

We hope this new feature improves the user experience and makes it easier to interact with our project

Cleaning-up code and removing ID

Summary

We've realized that adding IDs manually for subcategories is not a good practice and it might create conflicts in future. So, as per the new updates we have removed id property from subcategory object, and generating unique id for each subcategory with react-uuid.

Instructions

• Do Not add id property in subcategory object
• Please have a look at CONTRIBUTING guidelines for more information

Restructuring Database

Summary

LinksHub is an open-source project that aims to curate a comprehensive list of free tech resources by storing links to these resources in a structured and organized database. Recently, the project has undergone a restructuring of its database, and now stores the links to free tech resources in different JSON files. This allows for easier maintenance and updates, and provides a more efficient way of managing the resources. LinksHub provides a centralized platform for users to easily access a wide range of free technical resources and is continuously evolving to include new and relevant resources. The project is driven by a community of contributors who help maintain and improve the project.

Instructions

• A newly created category and Subcategory should be added to the data file
• A category has it's own folder
• A subcategory is contained in a category folder
• When a new category is added ensure to create a folder for it
• When a new subcategory is added ensure to create a json file for it and place in its respective category
• Add your resources to the subcategory json file of your choice
• Export the newly created json file on the index file
