Description
Hi! I was scanning the README for broken links and found these:
- http://thinkster.io - DNS resolution failed (domain no longer resolves, listed in JavaScript section)
- http://sahatyalkabov.com/create-a-character-voting-app-using-react-nodejs-mongodb-and-socketio - 404 (React/Node.js tutorial)
- http://dev.stephendiehl.com/fun/ - Connection timed out (Haskell tutorial)
Would you be open to a PR that replaces these with working alternatives? Happy to submit one.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start in the README and inspect the JavaScript, React/Node.js, and Haskell sections containing the three reported links. Verify each replacement before updating it, then check that all three links resolve and remain appropriate tutorial alternatives for their sections.
