this morning I vibe coded an RSS Reader on lovable.dev

found a great article about learning in public. it encourages to share your learning path and discoveries.
I decided to take on the challenge, but I still am in the planning phase... anyone has any advice?
btw I wrote a short post with more details and all the references -> dub.sh/CQwmERq
