Summary

We now have a basic news summary site! You can display recent news from a number of different websites, see the headline, date, and summary for each recent article, and can click on any headline to visit the original article. You've only seen a tiny sample of the power of the Jinja language though—as we expand this project and other projects in future chapters, you'll see how it can be used for inheritance, conditional statements, and more.

In the next chapter, we'll add weather and currency information to our application, and look at ways to interact with our users.
