Can I ask some questions about how this would apply to a project of mine?
I currently create a personal newspaper, printed daily in my office. It’s a reasonably large piece of software that pulls in my calendar, emails, news stories I care about, twitter feeds, weather, stock quotes, etc.
I use python’s newspaper library for parsing RSS feed links to news sites, but it is, at times lacking, so dashblock strikes me as interesting.
What I understand from the video is I could over time build out APIs with dashblock for major news sites; this would help with a few sites that are hard for newspaper.
How would I use dashblock in production - unattended, CLI Linux or Mac? Also, it looks really slow in the video, is this typical speeds? Is this something that you require be run on your cloud, or could I run it locally?
Thanks, Peter
