Coding With David

I was browsing Javascript projects that are available online so I can convert them to  Blazor.  It is fun to try to do everything they did in JavaScript in Blazor.  I came across this application.   This project was created just for pure enjoyment.   There are a couple of Blazor changes that were needed, but overall it is fairly straightforward and a ton of fun to implement. The implementation was to make an API call to get a Dad joke from a Dad Joke service, yes they have those.  Then get a random image to display, then display the image on each request.
