1. UI (User Interface) Layer

The UI layer is all about how the RSS reader looks and feels to users:
  • Design: Making sure the app is easy to navigate and pleasant to use.
  • Development: Creating the visual elements and interactions using web or mobile app technologies.
  • Responsiveness: Ensuring it works well on different devices and screen sizes.

2. API (Application Programming Interface) Layer

The API layer connects the RSS reader to the outside world:
  • Backend Development: Building the system that fetches RSS feeds and delivers them to the app.
  • Security: Keeping everything safe and making sure only authorized users can access the feeds.
  • Integration: Making sure the app can get updates from RSS feed sources reliably.

3. Logic (Business Logic) Layer

The logic layer is where the RSS reader does its thinking:
  • Feed Handling: Sorting and organizing RSS feed data so users see what matters most.
  • Customization: Letting users filter and personalize their feed experience.
  • Speed: Making sure the app runs smoothly, even with lots of data to process.

4. DB (Database) Layer

The database layer stores important information for the app:
  • Storage: Keeping track of user preferences, saved articles, and other settings.
  • Organization: Structuring the data so the app can find things quickly.
  • Updates: Managing changes and making sure everything stays up-to-date.

5. Hosting (Infrastructure) Layer

The hosting layer makes sure the RSS reader is up and running:
  • Cloud Services: Using services like AWS or Google Cloud to keep the app online.
  • Containers: Packing the app into neat containers that are easy to manage.
  • Monitoring: Keeping an eye on things to catch problems before users notice.
