10 days in total

I built this news aggregator to help me manage my inbox, one central place to keep all my newsletter and YouTube subscriptions.

I built this news aggregator to help me manage my inbox. I was subscribed to a number of newsletters and YouTube channels and I wanted one central place to keep them all.

This news aggregator uses Django and Django Rest Framework to call on the RSS feeds of various newsletters and the channel ID of different youtubers.

The site does not have its own domain name and has been set up as a subdomain of djangify.

Key Features

I add my favourite authors to the backend, in the admin area, and there is a Chron job running daily that fetches the latest 7 posts from each author.

Once I article or video appears I can click the link to be taken to the site of the author to read the article or to YouTube to watch the video.

Conclusion

This was a straight forward project. No major bugs or issues with it. It was great to have a better understand of DRF at this point and APIs.
