πŸš€ Building a Multi-API Dashboard in Flask β€” And Releasing It Open-Source

Integrating multiple external APIs doesn’t have to be messy.

This project wraps external services (News, Crypto, Weather, GitHub) through a clean, scalable architecture using:

🧩 Modular Flask blueprints

πŸ—‚οΈ Service-layer API abstractions

πŸ’½ SQLAlchemy models + migrations

🎨 A responsive, glass-style dashboard UI

βš™οΈ Application factory pattern for maintainability

πŸ’‘ Why I Built This

Working across multiple APIs gets chaotic fast β€” different formats, rate limits, timeouts, auth models.
So I created a structure that any developer can extend without fighting their project.

πŸ”§ What You Can Do With It

Add your own API integrations effortlessly

Use it as a learning resource for Flask architecture

Build a personal dashboard

Use it as a foundation for a production-grade backend

Feel free to fork, break, improve, or extend it.
And if you’ve got ideas for new modules β€” I’d love to collaborate.
