text input would work better for single line search input

It might be easier to grab the text input content, once submit is detected. It will save writing an additional event handler and save using a global variable

Commented out code can be removed

Writing code in functions is always good. Keeps code clean, concise and re-usable. It looks like the infinite scroll issue is due to api call failing when query is not defined. If you try load on scroll without typing in a query, the api call fails |
|
It would be good to see a README that explains what the code does so people reviewing your github account in future will know what you have done |
|
To spot issues like scrolling in future take a look in dev tools for any errors. they might contain clues about what is breaking |

Do you know why this broke in demo? I can't replicate and fix :(. Could it be to do with the "isLoading" variable and the API being slow?
Secondly, any advice on how the code is written and making it better. I noticed Phil writes all his code in functions, which I kind of liked.
Thanks,
Tom
