API Integration

• The application fetches data from public news APIs using the http package for HTTP requests.
• Ensure you have an API key if required by your chosen news provider.
• Implement API calls in the services/ directory to keep network-related code modular and maintainable.

State Management

• Cubit: Used for simple state transitions, providing a straightforward way to manage state with minimal boilerplate.
• Bloc: Employed for more complex state handling, using an event-driven approach for precise state control and advanced UI updates.

Structure:

• Cubit classes in the cubit/ directory manage individual state changes.
• Event and state classes are used in Bloc to define the flow of data.

Themes

The application supports both light and dark themes to enhance user experience:

• Light Theme: Ideal for well-lit environments, offering high readability with bright interface colors.
• Dark Theme: Reduces eye strain in low-light conditions, with a darker color palette for better focus and comfort.
