pygooglenews VS Phoenix

I have ~4k start in 2 Python libraries. Both help fetch live news articles. Links below.

These were my first libraries.

I took the approach of promoting them as any other product. You have to "sell" your code. Even if it's 100% free.

In my opinion, the most important thing is DEMO. Just make a GIF where you showcase what your software does:

* 80% of engineers won't even bother to read the description

No one will spend their precious time trying to get through your code.

I wrote a pygooglenews package for news mining out of google news.

I'm curious where the data get fetched from. The Author mentions that Mozilla Readability and SimplePie are used.

Readability to parse the content. SimplePie to fetch the data (I assume). Dat from RSS feeds?

In case you want to make something similar, I recently wrote a blog on where you could get news data for free [1]

(self-promo) I'd recommend to take a look at my Python package to mine news data from Google News [2]. Also, in 3 days we're releasing an absolutely free News API [3] that will support ~50-100k top stories per day.

I wrote a python package to scrape google news headlines at scale: https://github.com/kotartemiy/pygooglenews

Write libraries AND services, where it makes sense.

I wrote a Python library to scrape google news [0]

We also have it as a service [1]

Want to know why? Because devs who can't pay won't pay. Businesses who can pay will rather pay for a service (API in our case), and not care about maintaining it.

You can use this Python project to scrape Google News (https://github.com/kotartemiy/pygooglenews) If you look at the code you can get a feel of how to call Google News directly.

bandit has been created as an alternative to cowboy, fully coded in Elixir and designed to be integrated and highly compatible with the Phoenix framework. When it came out few years ago, the community did a lot of noise and I never find a moment to test it. bandit  supports HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 natively. WebSockets protocols support can be added with the help of WebSock and WebSockAdapter modules. At this time, it does not support HTTP/3 (yet?).

Phoenix is a framework for Elixir, the same way Rails is a framework for Ruby. Its mission is to be a productive framework that doesn't compromise on speed or maintainability.

aht20_tracker is an API server + Grafana visualization module built with Phoenix, an Elixir web framework

Django needs a marketing push. I opened the website and immediately it smells like a 2011 web framework. Like CakePHP. Like Zend. Like Kohana.

The site makes the project feel extremely dated, which of course I have no idea how true that is, I've never used Django! Just my 2c from an outsider.

I compare it to Phoenix and Rails. (again, talking PURELY marketing here dudes!)

As a .NET developer embarking on a journey to learn Elixir, one of the first questions is: "How do I build a web API?" In the Elixir ecosystem, the answer is overwhelmingly the Phoenix Framework. If you're familiar with ASP.NET Core, you'll find Phoenix to be a powerful and elegant counterpart.

There are JS frameworks that port to most platforms in about 3 minutes (use a Mac for iOS builds):

That being said, Erlang/Elixir abstracts most db use-cases with ecto, and has some other incredibly powerful scalable features for sites:

* Distributed

In general, I found starting with a Erlang/Elixir framework tutorial helps. Phoenix includes a generic wrapper on top of PostgreSQL, and hit a surprising number of users per host with trivial code (common game engine back-end.)

If you don't run away from a framework intro, then dive into the details of the OTP:

The only foot-gun I would initially avoid, is a fussy fault-tolerant multi-host cluster deployment. Check out RabbitMQ package maintainers, as those guys certainly offer a fantastic resource for students ( https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/which-erlang .)

That’s insane. 3000 words of prose boilerplate about the language and framework. Sounds like you need, at the very least, some sort of import directive. I have no idea if “Follow the instructions in path/to/phoenixframework/AGENTS.md.” would work.

And then the eclectic mixture of instructions with a variety of ways of trying to bully an intransigent LLM into ignoring its Phoenix-deficient training… ugh.

In Elixir land, the Ash Framework created a package called usage_rules[0] as an experimental attempt to solve this problem a few months ago. The latest version of the Phoenix Framework (1.8) includes it in their `mix phx.new` generator and in their own hex packages[1]. Library owners would need to add their own usage rules, but it seems to help even for just the core packages Phoenix includes.
