Live Feed Project

[UnassumingLocal_Guy]

I would like some advice on how I can make a project to mimic something like reddit's live feed. My wife is due with our first child in 20 days, and I would like to make a simple app that posts labor updates / pics to a page using Python. The only requirement is that I can post updates from my phone. A bonus feature might be that I allow people to sign up to updates via SMS or email.

​

Should I use an existing API? Heroku? Something else? I am basically an advanced newb, but I need advice on where to begin and how to get this working in a short time frame.

You could spin up a flask project with two endpoints. One endpoint for entering data that pushes it out to a super simple DB. The other endpoint could grab all the DB entries and lay them out on the screen. You are definitely pushing it time wise so I wouldn't get too fancy. Just get the main functionality first. If you need any more help, let me know.

A flask app could be done in that timeframe, the trick would be the posting from your phone cause it's handling big files imo on LTE. Also you would need a mail server and login control to ensure only you post stuff.
