What Hacker News says

I have ~4k start in 2 Python libraries. Both help fetch live news articles. Links below. These were my first libraries. I took the approach of promoting them as any other product. You have to "sell" your code. Even if it's 100% free. In my opinion, the most important thing is DEMO. Just make a GIF where you showcase what your software does: * 80% of engineers won't even bother to read the description No one will spend their precious time trying to get through your code.

In Tips For Making a Popular Open Source Project in 2021
I'm curious where the data get fetched from. The Author mentions that Mozilla Readability and SimplePie are used. Readability to parse the content. SimplePie to fetch the data (I assume). Dat from RSS feeds? In case you want to make something similar, I recently wrote a blog on where you could get news data for free [1] (self-promo) I'd recommend to take a look at my Python package to mine news data from Google News [2]. Also, in 3 days we're releasing an absolutely free News API [3] that will support ~50-100k top stories per day. [1] https://blog.newscatcherapi.com/an-ultimate-list-of-open-sou...

Nice job! I love the UI. For hackers who want to find the best open sourced tools to work/parse news data (disclaimer: I'm a creator to some of those): 1. PyGoogleNews [1] -- If Google News had a Python library 2. NewsCatcher [2] -- Programmatically collect normalized news from (almost) any website 3. NewsPaper3k [3] -- Article scraping & curation 4.
