Infinite API calls

[kailash360]

Describe the bug

Whenever a user clicks on a story to read it, the Story.js component is rendered, and this makes infinite requests to the backend.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Right click on homepage and choose Inspect
2. Go to Networks tab
3. Click on any story on the homepage with the inspect section open
4. You will see infinite requests made by the client

Expected behavior

The component should make only a single request to the backend and this should be sufficient to return the required data.

@cyntss The problem is occurring due to the react-promise-tracker package. Can I fix it?

@kailash360 I am unable to reproduce this issue. I tried on the hosted link as well as by building user-story repo locally. There are no infinte api calls.

Local user-story build

I wonder if the problem is occurring only on Windows. I faced this issue in my local server as well as in the build

[ayushsatyam146]

Nope, I checked for windows as well, on chrome, brave, and edge.
