I have watched a number of tutorials on using Claude Code, and I am still working through the Claude Code for Everyone course. After some thought, I have decided on my first project that I would like to develop using Claude. Over the past few years I have been involved in several projects (Portland Protest News, Kamala Campaign Timeline, and Liveblog47) where I was monitoring multiple news sites/feeds for a specific topic. In performing the research for these sites, I spent a fair amount of time reviewing sites/feeds, deciding what to publish, looking for other stories if the sites/feeds I was monitoring did not have what I needed. Having an agent to be able to do this would be a help. Also, it was difficult to research/locate other stories that were not current (published in the last day or two).
I am going to start with creating an application to collect stories/posts based on RSS feeds and create an archive of news for the United States. Next, I will provide an interface for researching that archive. I am starting with collecting RSS feeds for newspapers and news media sites within the US. This will probably take a bit of time (already ran out of tokens in my current Claude session), but it will give me time to plan out the next steps.
If anyone is interested on collaborating on this project, let me know!
