Show HN: I created a feed of interesting content for myself

#1

Post by Zakuzaa »

I stopped using Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok etc long back for various reasons. But that left me wanting a simple feed of interesting content because I think that really has some value. So I built one for myself using public APIs and free datasets. I have been using it for couple years now. Thought I should share it wth HN, because why not.

Here’s how it works: every few minutes, a cron job fetches content from various APIs and datasets and populates a database table ‘cards’. When you open feedium.app, you are shown some cards from that table chosen randomly. That’s it. :)

Wow, this is amazing. Being a beginner in web developing, I would be really happy if you could help me out on how did you actually build this. Loved it!

Nothing fancy. You can get the frontend code by checking the view-source. It's just html css js. Backend is very simple php script. It's just a cron that fetches data from hacknews API, reddit API and other few APIs.

That's... Nice. Any source code or blog post on how you did it?
