My first coded project - part 2
Part 1: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/my-first-coded-project-part-1-6f39fe5798
As a reminder, I am building Le Digest : a daily automated email with the info I'm interested in every morning.
It's been 2 months since my last post and 50 hours of work later: I have 3x the amount of API integrations + built my first Chrome extension.
In my daily automated email digest, I now added:
- A daily inspirational quote
- A reminder when Spotify Discover Weekly playlist is updated
- The most popular posts on Hacker News
- New entries from the blogs I follow (RSS)
- My unread Feedly articles
- My saved Pocket articles
Everything has been done through APIs + serverless backend functions on Netlify. The architecture is set, meaning it's very easy to add new services going forward.
I also just finished my first Chrome extension using Vanilla JS which interacts with Netlify. With it, you can 1-click save web pages & articles you find throughout the day, then find them in your daily email digest the following morning, to read at your own pace. If you click on one of them in the email, it'll assume you've read it and will remove it from future emails (done by linking the saved page to an intermediary serverless function to remove it from the DB before redirecting you to the given page).
Thoughts and suggestions are welcomed!
