Summary

This sample shows how you can use the Forem (Independent Publisher) connector. In this case it shows the latest posts, posts about Azure and posts about .NET. In this example I used DevTo as the Forem instance. The sample also uses the Creator Kit - so make sure to install that before importing this sample!
