Solution retrospective

This is my first time working with APIs and it was really fun. I learned a lot about async, await and a brilliant use of box shadow for glow effect. Any kind of feedback or suggestion would be highly appreciated. Happy Coding!

    The button doesn't work (at least in my browser) because of caching.

    A solution to get around that is to ask for "https://api.adviceslip.com/advice?_"+new Date().getTime() instead of just https://api.adviceslip.com/advice.

    When you just ask for https://api.adviceslip.com/advice, the browser thinks it is the same resource you're asking everytime and doesn't refresh it.

    But adding a query string that changes everytime solves the issue very easily.
