This simple tool allows the user to provide a URL to article. The script scrapes the article contents and serves the article as a docx file to the user.
USP: It even works on websites that dont allow a user to read an article without a subscription/login! One such article is here
pip install virtualenvwrapper-win
mkvirtualenv test test = name of virtual env
pip install -r requirements.txt
After ensuring that we are in a virtual environment (If not, use workon test)
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver
Visit development server http://127.0.0.1:8000/
