Description

The tutorial link in the Angular section is broken and returns a 502 Bad Gateway error.
Tutorial Name: Build a Google+ clone with Django and AngularJS (Angular 1.x)
Broken Link: https://thinkster.io/django-angularjs-tutorial
Location in README: Angular section

Expected Behavior

The link should direct users to a working tutorial or be removed from the list.

Current Behavior

When clicking on the tutorial link, the browser shows:

  • 502 Bad Gateway ERROR
  • Message: "The request could not be satisfied"
  • The website appears to be permanently down
Possible Solution

Remove the broken link or replace it with a similar working tutorial.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Go to the README.md file
  2. Navigate to JavaScript > Angular section
  3. Click on "Build a Google+ clone with Django and AngularJS (Angular 1.x)" link
  4. Observe the 502 error

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The broken link is listed in README.md under JavaScript > Angular. Start by checking the linked tutorial and the surrounding entries, then remove the dead link or replace it with a working equivalent. Done means the README no longer directs readers to the 502 page and the updated link, if used, opens successfully.
