YouTube Video Aggregator

Building an aggregator service in Go. It's a backend web server which allows a user to:

• Follow 5 YouTube channels by default (on successful login)
• Follow and unfollow channels that other users have added
• Add bookmarks and upvote/downvote to the video posts
• Fetch all of the latest videos from the channels they follow

• JWT Authentication Service to securely login users on the website.

RSS/Atom feeds are a way for websites to publish updates to their content. You can use this project to keep up with your favorite youtube channels!

🚀 Learning Goals

• How to integrate a Go server with PostgreSQL
• The basics of database migrations
• Long-running service workers
• The complete overview of JWT authentication

🚀 Improvement Ideas

• Support different options for sorting and filtering posts using query parameters
• Support multiple types of RSS feeds with better logging and error handling (e.g. Atom, JSON, etc.)
• Classify different types of feeds and posts (e.g. blog, podcast, video, etc.)
• Support pagination of the endpoints that can return many items
• Add a CLI client that uses the API to fetch and display posts, maybe it even allows you to read them in your terminal
• Scrape lists of feeds themselves from a third-party site that aggregates feed URLs (e.g. FeedSpot, etc.)
• Add integration tests that use the API to create, read, update, and delete feeds and posts
• Create a comprehensive web UI that uses the backend API
