Simple Blogging Analytics Dashboard in Python

Build a real analytics tool from scratch, one step at a time

This video series walks through building a simple blogging analytics dashboard in Python, from raw web scraping to a deployed web app. Rather than dropping a finished project in your lap, it breaks the build into small, sequential steps: scraping a single article, then a category, then an entire blog, before moving into computing basic analytics and wiring up a front end.

Who it's for

Intermediate Python learners who already know the basics and want to see how scraping, data processing, and a Flask web app fit together in one working project.

Key takeaways

• Web scraping fundamentals, scaled from one article up to an entire site
• How to compute basic analytics from scraped content
• Setting up a Flask server and deploying it to Heroku

Everything is done manually here so you can see each moving part before automating the pipeline.
