Hello to the 2 users reading this! I’ve noticed some people using the bot already!

I now have it running permanently on DigitalOcean getting posts from r/worldnews. The username is @botlt_test, if you see it say hi!.

What’s changed?

  • The bot now uses the link-preview-js library to get more information about the link it’s posting, meaning if it’s able to find a description for the link, it will post it as description/content of the post.
  • I’ve organized the code so it’s easier to modify it if you want to.

What now?

Well that was a very short “What’s changed?” section, and that leads me to this one.
I’m thinking of adding support for other platforms, or maybe just RSS feeds in general, but I would like to know if you (2 users) have any suggestions, any new features you want to see, etc. I will also add a docker file so it’s easier to setup.

I don’t know what else to say but yeah, I thought I needed to say a couple of things :)
Thank you to the people using the bot and I hope is useful to you!
