Here's the current use case:
You have an RSS feed and want to send a status update about it to the fediverse.
There's an easy way and there's this tool.
First, get madonctl
to run. See the README
go get -u github.com/McKael/madonctl
$GOPATH/bin/madonctl config dump -i mastodon.social -L username@domain -P password
$GOPATH/bin/madonctl toot "Yay, test"
Then install feedfoo
:
go get -u github.com/winks/feedfoo
$GOPATH/bin/feedfoo
Get feedfoo
with deps:
git clone https://github.com/winks/feedfoo
cd feedfoo
go get -u github.com/mmcdole/gofeed
go build
./feedfoo -help
Try it out safely:
./feedfoo --feed https://f5n.org/blog/atom.xml --cache ./dump.json -- echo "%%TEXT%%"
Now try it out for real:
./feedfoo --feed https://f5n.org/blog/atom.xml --cache ./dump.json -- madonctl toot "%%TEXT%%"
This shouldn't do anything if you already ran it once to fill the cache file. Maybe manually delete the lastest post from the json or update the feed. I guess "cache" is the wrong term. More like "ignored" or "done".
- templated string instead of hardcoded "New blog post: TITLE LINK"
