๐Ÿš€ Building a Multi-API Dashboard in Flask โ€” And Releasing It Open-Source

Integrating multiple external APIs doesnโ€™t have to be messy.

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

๐Ÿงฉ Modular Flask blueprints

๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ Service-layer API abstractions

๐Ÿ’ฝ SQLAlchemy models + migrations

๐ŸŽจ A responsive, glass-style dashboard UI

โš™๏ธ Application factory pattern for maintainability

๐Ÿ’ก Why I Built This

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

๐Ÿ”ง 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 youโ€™ve got ideas for new modules โ€” Iโ€™d love to collaborate.
