RSS Feed Aggregator in Go

Overview

This project is an RSS feed aggregator built in Go. It's a web server that allows clients to:

• Add RSS feeds to be collected
• Follow and unfollow RSS feeds that other users have added
• Fetch all of the latest posts from the RSS feeds they follow

RSS feeds are a way for websites to publish updates to their content. You can use this project to keep up with your favorite blogs, news sites, podcasts, and more!

Learning Goals

• Learn how to integrate a Go server with PostgreSQL
• Learn about the basics of database migrations
• Learn about long-running service workers

Setup

• An editor. I use VS code, you can use whatever you like.
• A command line. I work on Mac OS/Linux, so instructions will be in Bash. I recommend WSL 2 if you're on Windows so you can still use Linux commands.
• The latest Go toolchain.
• If you're in VS Code, I recommend the official Go extension.
• An HTTP client. I use Thunder Client, but you can use whatever you like.
