From Script to Site: Adding a Full Frontend to My AI News Digest

How I turned a private Python CLI project into a user-friendly web app

1. Why a frontend? Initially, my AI news digest was a daily HTML file emailed to myself a perfectly fine MVP. But friends wanted to try it, and honestly, I wanted a shareable URL, search, and interactivity.

So, I decided to build:

A Python backend (FastAPI)
A JavaScript frontend (React)
Shared data via JSON API
Clean UI styled with Tailwind CSS
This made the project feel like a real product instead of a developer toy.
