What will you learn?
In this guided project you'll practice building a CLI in Go, and you'll use production-ready database tools like PostgreSQL, SQLc, Goose, and psql. This won't just be another CLI utility, but a service that has a long-running service worker that reaches out over the internet to fetch data from remote locations.

Great guided project, and one that I plan to start using for Aggregating posts for me to read. Plan to come back and enhance this project as well.

Much less "hand holding" that previous guided projects, which made this one a bit more challenging, but also a lot more satisfying (and, I think, fun).

An amazing intro into how to create a Go program with a Postgres back end. It also introduces concepts like schema migrations and database serialization and deserialization. Loved it.

Really fun project. Pacing is a bit of as in all of the Guided Projects on boot.dev but this project is definitely one of my favorite. One thing that annoys me is the lack or inconsistent guidance in terms of files creation/project structure.
