My second project in the quest to release something every month this year is Kalester, a vegan recipe blog aggregator. This project also served as an excuse to learn a bit more about Go, which I've meant to start dabbling in for a while now.
I've got a Go app on Cloud Run that runs once a day to pull recipes from a bunch of blogs and stores them in Cloud SQL, and a second Cloud Run container with the site backend.
It's been pretty fun learning these technologies, and I'm excited about what can be done with all of this. Now I need to figure out what next month's project should be.
You can get and add stats from FB, Twitter etc on how many times each url has been liked, shared etc. Then you can produce weekly rankings.
Also try using NLP to tag (ie make clickable) all the indgredients mentioned in each blurb. Clicking the tag, say mushroom produces a page with all the mushroom recipes found.
And finally dont forget to also use this as an excuse to learn how to cook. Programming is fun and all cooking is even better :)

Haha, yes, I do like cooking, but I could definitely do a bit more of it and less programming.
