I believe it will be difficult to impress the hard coders with “no code” applications. But all is not lost. This means you need to know how to program online. There are a lot more complexities that go into programming a website, or app, that has users, requires servers, authentication, and databases. This will be far more practical on a resume, as well as help you learn how to use new technologies. Building an entire website or app all at once is difficult. Instead of just scraping the data, why not build a website with that data. This scraper could pull the data into a database and then select the most popular posts. You have now shown that you can do more than just code a small segment of a system. Instead, you can think through an entire system. You need to consider how you are going to automate the process, manage the database, create the website, and select the posts. Maybe there was a free conference in your area on data science or big data and you missed out because you forgot to check. Now, I assume both Meetup and Eventbrite have similar options. But it is always fun to try to build your own system. You can customize the system to work the way you want, and maybe even allow other people to make their own alerts by making this a website. What if you could create a website that helps to predict what to buy a friend for a gift. It could allow the end user to either create an account or just get a gift recommendation. One, learn about how to use APIs and get you comfortable with reading API documentation. Two, if you do it well, you can get a commission for each product someone buys. This project also has an opportunity to try to create a basic machine learning model.
