I Like the example RSS app (https://github.com/do-community/rss-reader-api) that DO provide. It's Django REST Framework but without a lot of the 'magic'. I reckon the DRF docs should link to it as a good example. When learning DRF from the docs tutorial it's so easy to get bogged down in the features that are meant to simplify everything that when something breaks it takes someone unfamiliar with the source a long time to troubleshoot. This example though, is very easy to follow.
