The flask app for the RSS Feed should live in it's own folder as opposed to the top level folder.

The flask app has no tests right now. Let's fix this. This is blocked by #23

The API will look something like the below:

GET /available_books

{[
“isbn”: “1234”,
“title”: “Crime and Punishment”
“available:” true,
“branches”: [“Montclair Branch”, “Temescal Branch”]
],
“isbn”: “5678”,
“title”: “Catch-22”
“available:” false,
“branches”: []
],…}

Let's try https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html to see if we can get the library availability asynchronously

See if request-html would work better (or equally well) as request+BeautifulSoup do today.

Based on the books in the "to read" goodreads shelf, check for availability at the Oakland library. Make any that are available via an RSS feed. Update the timestamp of the feed item each time so that a feed reader can detect it as updated each time it checks for updates.

Perhaps Travis CI would be good.

We should do this after #9 and #8 are both done.

Such that we can simply execute python -m unittest instead of providing the path to the test file manually as it is after #9

Need to figure out:

• Which books to send a notification for (all of them or only the top five)
• How to not flood the user with notifications (perhaps persist some state in a sqlite db)
• What sort of notification to send the user (email? sms?)
