I’m still working on https://feedsync.net, a tool to push RSS feed updates to Discord.
It’s been getting a decent number of sign ups despite me not really posting it anywhere or doing any marketing.
Ultimately a fun project, and useful for myself and a few friends, so I’m happy others are even interested in trying it.
I’ve started to regret using Phoenix LiveView, as it’s only deployed in one region, so high latency far from there. I’m exploring a SPA as a better alternative.
Otherwise, I’ve been playing around with a Lua engine to build feeds for websites that don’t support them, using AI to build the Lua as a once-off. It works reasonably well, but isn’t ready for prime time just yet.

> how is this any different from healthchecks.io or openstatus.dev?
Those are the competition! There's never a good reason to not have alternatives available.
I'm not sure if this is intentional, but your comment comes across as a little disparaging, when individuals are sharing things they've built with passion, often in their spare time.

I'm building a RSS <> Discord syndication tool called [FeedSync](https://feedsync.net).
It's pretty simple to set up and is designed to "just work", set and forget.
Recently, I've been experimenting with an Elixir Lua runtime (https://deflua.com/) to build custom feeds by parsing HTML, which has worked exceedingly well, so hoping to release that soon.
It's an extremely niche product, but has been growing well organically, which is nice for a side project!

I've allegedly been blocked by Cloudflare, despite accessing from an Australian residential IP..
Unless you're geoblocking?

I've noticed a lot of the links don't work, including "Watch demo".
Hard to assess it without seeing a demo, given there's no try-before-you-buy mechanism.

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

This looks great, it's a shame that you have to go all the way through the payment process to see "Not available in your country (Australia)" though..

You’ll be pleased to find out that PeerTube already has a Docker deployment then!
I’ve been running it in Kubernetes with very few issues.
The documentation is available here: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/install-docker

>I do not think something proprietary like an s3 bucket would be compatible with Peertube, but I have not maintained an instance.
Peertube supports storing videos in S3 compatible object storage: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin-remote-storage

It seems odd to me that navigating to the link you submitted redirects me to login with Twitter, giving no compelling reasons to do so?
I suggest having a descriptive homepage and allowing the user to login themselves, rather than forcing them via redirect.

Are they actively sending out invites to people on the waitlist?
