Building a .NET news aggregator site

Let's try to build a simple .NET news aggregator site using Python, Hugo and a scheduled Github Action.

This repository contains the site source code. The published code can be found in this another GitHub repository:

• https://github.com/karlospn/mydotnetramblings-news-site

.NET Ramblings site

The site is published in the following uri:

• https://www.dotnetramblings.com

This site is an automated news aggregator. It fetches news from multiple RSS feeds, presenting them all on a single page for your convenience.

The site is automatically updated every 3 hours with the latest news from various RSS feeds.

There is also a lot of interesting .NET content in Youtube, that's why this site also contains a videos section. This section is automatically updated once every day at 07:15 AM (UTC) with the videos posted the day before.
