});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
}
return response.json();
}
loadLessons()
.then(lessons => console.log(lessons))
.catch(error => console.error('Failed to load:', error.message));Practice the AJAX Project Ideas example in a small scratch file, then explain what changed and why.
