I'm working on FeedSync, which polls RSS feeds and pushes new entries to Discord.

It's built on Phoenix/Elixir and has been pretty rock solid.

Sign up currently requires a card number, but that's something I'm hoping to fix in the next week or so. If you do happen to sign up, I'll set your account to an unlimited free trial ;)

Wow! Surprised to see this on the front page.

I built this about 8 years ago on a whim, and it blew up. Only recently did I learn there was a memory leak, after getting a big traffic spike that caused an OOM.

Over the years it’s burned through several TB of bandwidth per month.

I built ascii.live to support different animations for fun, although I don’t have as much time to review PRs as I’d like.

Do you mean they technically have RSS, but they’re using slightly different fields? E.g. summary instead of description?

I’m using FastRSS[^0] with some lightweight pattern matching to convert them to an internal model. I get error notifications for mismatches, and just push a new pattern match to handle the outlier.

Longer term it could be interesting to get an LLM to write some Lua to parse JIT.

I’ve been building an Elixir app to poll RSS feeds and pipe new entries to Discord.

Performance is rock solid, and it’s almost ready to release, I just need to tweak a few things (like free trial with no CC).

I have a very long to do list, and ultimately want to extend it with “change detection”, e.g. notify when an HTML element on a website changes.

All feedback is welcome

Doesn’t seem like I can sign up in Australia, payment is not accepted..

Hey HN! I made this as a side project, but it blew up a lot more than I thought so I thought I might share it here.

I love Cult of the Party Parrot so I thought I'd try to make my own, but for `curl`!

`parrot.live` just keeps the connection open and pipes down a clear terminal character and then passes through the next frame (with some colour).

Merci de nous avoir montré votre projet, Jacob ! Ça semble très cool.

Je pense qu’il serait meilleur de partager votre code ici, la communauté sur HN ne volera surtout pas votre code !

(Je m'excuse si mon francais n'est pas sans faute, il faut que je le pratique.)

Thank you for showing us your project, Jacob ! It looks really cool.

I think it would be better to share your code here as the HN community HN won’t be stealing your code!
