Django learning resources:

I started with the official docs & tutorial:

• https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/install/
• https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/

Their tutorial looked kind of boring so admittedly while I started it, at some point I just skimmed along instead of doing the exercises. It is a good, albeit very simple tutorial though. I should have actually just gone through it in detail TBH as I've referred back to it a few times.

Here's a couple of other quick install tutorials I found to be helpful at various points too, YMMV:

• https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/08/13/install-python3-rhel/

In an effort to avoid news aggregation sites such as Google, as well as other generalized sources of information that could have a tendency to curate my news feed against my will or knowledge, I'm attempting to build a personal platform that solves for the follwoing problems:

1. Anonymity. I don't want aggregation sites like Google News deciding what content to show me based on what content I typically see. For this first phase of my project I'm considering all 3rd party aggregators suspect.
2. Content curation. I want to decide with granularity what types of content I do and don't receive. No magic, no behind the scenes algorithms. If there's any filtering or curation, I want to be 100% in charge of it.
3. Centrally hosted. I need my mobile and desktop experience to be sync'd.

My current set-up involves the following tools currently

• FreshRSS (in a docker container)
• MySQL for data storage. It comes configured with SQL-Lite by default but I wanted something more
