interface Article {
title: string;
source: string;
summary: string;
url: string;
published: string;
}
const SummaryCard = ({ article }: { article: Article }) => {

<div className="summary-card" style={{ marginBottom: '1rem', border: '1px solid #ccc', padding: '1rem' }}>
<h2>{article.title}</h2>
<p><strong>Source:</strong> {article.source}</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> {article.summary}</p>
<a href={article.url} target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read more</a>
<p><em>Published:</em> {new Date(article.published).toLocaleString()}</p>
</div>

.then(res => {
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Network response was not ok");
return res.json();
})
.then(data => {
console.log('Fetched data:', data);
setArticles(data.data); // assumes response is { data: Article[] }
})
.catch(error => console.error('Error fetching data:', error));
}, []);
return (
<div style={{ padding: '2rem' }}>
<h1>Latest News Summaries</h1>
{articles.length === 0 ? (
<p>No articles found.</p>
) : (
articles.map((article, index) => (
<SummaryCard key={index} article={article} />
))
)}
</div>
);
};
export default Summaries;
Here's an improved version of your component with better visual hierarchy, consistent styling using Tailwind CSS (which you're likely using based on modern React conventions), and a more polished, professional UI:
---
### ✅ **Changes Made**
- Replaced inline styles with Tailwind classes for maintainability.
- Used `Card`, `CardTitle`, and other structured components for better clarity.
- Improved date formatting.
- Enhanced layout with spacing, hover effects, and responsive design.

### 💅 **Improved Code**
```tsx
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
interface Article {
title: string;
source: string;
summary: string;
url: string;
published: string;
}
const SummaryCard = ({ article }: { article: Article }) => {
return (
<div className="bg-white shadow-md rounded-2xl p-6 mb-6 border border-gray-200 hover:shadow-lg transition-shadow">
<h2 className="text-xl font-semibold mb-2">{article.title}</h2>
<p className="text-sm text-gray-600 mb-1">
<strong>Source:</strong> {article.source}
</p>
<p className="text-gray-700 mb-3">
<strong>Summary:</strong> {article.summary}
</p>
<a

target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
className="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium"

</a>
<p className="text-xs text-gray-500 mt-2">
<em>Published:</em> {new Date(article.published).toLocaleString()}
</p>
</div>
);
};
const Summaries = () => {
const [articles, setArticles] = useState<Article[]>([]);
useEffect(() => {
fetch('/api/graph/')
.then((res) => {
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Network response was not ok");
return res.json();
})
.then((data) => {
console.log('Fetched data:', data);
setArticles(data.data);
})
.catch((error) => console.error('Error fetching data:', error));
}, []);
return (
<div className="max-w-3xl mx-auto px-4 py-8">
<h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-6">📰 Latest News Summaries</h1>
{articles.length === 0 ? (
<p className="text-gray-600">No articles found.</p>
) : (
articles.map((article, index) => (
<SummaryCard key={index} article={article} />
))
)}
</div>
);
};
export default Summaries;
```

I want it to look sleek and be very readable
Perfect — to make your summaries **sleek**, **very readable**, and **professional**, I’ll style them with:
- Clear visual hierarchy using font weights and sizes
- Soft shadows and rounded corners
- Consistent spacing and alignment
- A modern serif/sans-serif combo (optional)
- Readability-focused color palette (cool gray, white, soft blue)

const SummaryCard = ({ article }: { article: Article }) => {
return (
<div className="bg-white rounded-2xl border border-gray-200 shadow-sm p-6 mb-6 transition-all hover:shadow-md">

};
const Summaries = () => {
const [articles, setArticles] = useState<Article[]>([]);
useEffect(() => {
fetch('/api/graph/')
.then((res) => {
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Network response was not ok");
return res.json();
})
.then((data) => {
console.log('Fetched data:', data);
setArticles(data.data);
})
.catch((error) => console.error('Error fetching data:', error));
}, []);
return (
<div className="min-h-screen bg-gray-50 px-4 py-10 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
<div className="max-w-3xl mx-auto">
<h1 className="text-4xl font-bold text-gray-900 mb-8 text-center tracking-tight">
📰 Curated News Summaries
</h1>
{articles.length === 0 ? (
<p className="text-gray-600 text-center">No articles found.</p>
) : (
articles.map((article, index) => (
<SummaryCard key={index} article={article} />
))
)}
</div>
</div>
);
};
export default Summaries;
```

### 🌟 Tips for Even Better Readability
- Use a font like `Inter` or `IBM Plex Sans` for clean modern lines.
- Add `prose` classes from `@tailwindcss/typography` for longer text like summaries.
- Ensure line height (`leading-relaxed`) and font size (`text-base`) are used generously.

Let me know if you want to:
- Add **light/dark mode toggle**
- Add **tags or categories**
- Highlight keywords or sources
- Use **OpenProps** or **shadcn/ui** components for more polish
