[jackabald]

Hello, I made Flask application in the past and I want to help you. But why the app just showing blank page when I opened it?

[jackabald]

Right-click the page, inspect, and look at the console logs. You need to run 'python rss_parser.py' before running the flask server on the backend.

As of writing this, the New Yorker RSS feed is currently down, so running rss_parser.py will result in an error. I am going to work on some error handling for this parser so that even when a feed goes down, it will still update other feeds. EDIT: 'python rss_parser.py' works now.

So you want not only the function to save articles in your profile, but also the function to log in? Because currently, the site doesn't act when I try to sign up. I can help you all if you want, but I think I'll need a week or so.

[jackabald]

So currently, I can signup and signin to an extent,

but this is the extent of that ability, and in firebase I can see those log ins. I can make two issues because there is A LOT of work to be done with the profile portion. I would start with just trying to allow users to log in and stay logged in even after reloading the page. Then i would maybe work towards setting up firestore or realtime database to handle user information. and then you can start working on bookmarked articles showing up in a users profile.

I appreciate the help, and if you have any other ideas or even want to switch away from firebase please let me know.

[jackabald]

Continuing, If you would like to take a stab at all of this, and your not super comfortable with firebase or you want experience with a different user auth/database or you think one will work better for the needs of the project please do.

This project is still very clearly in development so we have the ability to completely shift if your more comfortable with a different stack.

[Prism194]

Okay, I'll do it in my ability and condition.

[jackabald]

Hey,

Any updates on this issue?

Thanks!

[jackabald]

Hey!

Are you still working on this? any updates? or should I unassign you?

[Prism194]

Sorry for not responding. I had to concentrate on something else in the meantime because it urgently happened. But your repository is very interesting. I can't participate right away, but I'll keep watching.

[jackabald]

No worries. I appreciate it!
