RSS based thread watcher

Get notifications from your feed reader when your favourite mlp thread is about to die

Usage

1. Open your RSS feed reader (you have one right?)
2. Add your custom URL (see getting custom URL)
3. Enable notifications in your feed reader and set update interval to 5minutes or more (you can set less but the feed is updated only every 5 minutes)
4. Profit! RSS feed will include only the threads matching your querry so every notification your feed reader will send means your watched thread is about to die

Getting custom URL

Crafting URL by hand

Right now there is no automated way to generate your feed url but making one by hand is fairly simple.

Generating URL interactively

Coming soon

Limitations

This is an experimental project. There are several limitations:

• Only supported board is ​/mlp​/ (You can choose your own when self hosting)
• Only searched threads are those who are in the 50% closer to death part of the catalog

Feature set

• Planned/finnished features

  • Config file instead of hardcoding config values
  • Support notification on watched thread re-creation after it died
  • Support notification for thread death
  • Support multiple boards at once
  • Support async responses
  • Graal VM support for native configuration

Self hosting

This is not supported until release 1.0. You can do it if you figure it out (probably not that hard tbh) but there will be much more detailed instructions in the future.

Prebuilt

There will be instructions at some point I promise. Until then you can download binaries from the releases page and run them like you would any other java executable, default port is 6969.

And you need Java for now if that isn't clear.

$ java -jar whatEverNameTheReleaseHas.jar~

From source

If you know Clojure, then just clone and build with lein. If you don't either RTFM to lein or wait before instructions will be avaiabile here.

Configuring

Self hosting is not supported at the moment so no configuration for you.
