Project Description

The Blog Aggregator is a CLI-based tool built in Go that collects and displays blog posts from various sources. It provides a simple and efficient way to keep up with multiple blogs in one place by fetching and aggregating RSS feeds.

Commands

The Blog Aggregator provides several commands to interact with the system:

• login <username>: Log in with the specified username.
• register <username>: Register a new user with the specified username.
• users: List all registered users.
• agg <time-between-reqs>: Start collecting feeds at the specified interval.
• addfeed <name> <url>: Add a new feed with the specified name and URL.
• feeds: List all available feeds.
• follow <url>: Follow a feed with the specified URL.
• following: List all feeds the current user is following.
• unfollow <feed-url>: Unfollow the feed with the specified URL.
• browse [limit]: Browse the latest posts with an optional limit.

How It Works

The Blog Aggregator works by fetching RSS feeds from a list of predefined blog URLs. It parses the RSS feeds and displays the latest blog posts in a consolidated format.

Main Components:

• Fetcher: Responsible for fetching the RSS feeds from the blog URLs.
• Parser: Parses the fetched RSS feeds and extracts the relevant information.
• Aggregator: Aggregates the parsed blog posts and prepares them for display.
• Server: Serves the aggregated blog posts via a web interface.
