Innovation Day 2020 Project - SLAGHEAP

(Scheduled Local and Global Headlines, Events, And Puzzles)

The Goal: A backend application that scrapes RSS Feeds for headlines and emails me regular (daily?) news updates.

Completed Tasks:

1. Make API Endpoint for accessing RSS Feed data
2. Email most recent stories from multiple feeds through API

Future Improvements to Make:

• Create API endpoint for adding new feeds/recipients (with URL parameters);
• Add scheduling so that emails are automatically sent every day - one suggestion for this is to use an Azure function on a timer, whichwould allow a serverless architecture;
• Get fancy with email formatting (e.g. show picture of one crossword instead of getting links to several?).
