advanced__pizzaon Ask HN: Show me your half baked project

I'm building a service for developers who want to help out small businesses or non-profits [0]. I'm still at the ideation stage, gauging interest, but would love to hear everyones thoughts!

The backend is a simple Python/Flask/Postgres app [1] but holding off on building it out until there is more demand. Spun off a GCP Flask starter template from this repo useful for folks wanting to deploy python apps to GCP/App Engine [2]. Thanks for looking.

In what situations would a tool like this be useful? Asking honestly. Thanks.

Idea is to be super simple. Unlimited feeds in beta.

Will post the github if anyone is interested in helping out. Sinatra / Ruby, Postgres.

I like this site and the flat cnn site so I built this:

I would love to grab article text, and display with no images, but I'm fairly sure that violates redistribution laws.

Any ideas on features would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
