Show HN: Discorss – RSS Feeds for Discord

https://discorss.fldr.zip/

10•wyxuan•9mo ago

I made my own Discord bot for managing RSS feeds, called Discorss.

Discorss is open source, has AI summarization, automatic paywall skips, and can be entirely managed with slash commands. Best of all – self hosting is very cheap and trivial with Railway, so you can add your own customizations to how the RSS bot works.

I've been using a personal Discord server as my RSS hub – it's convenient and I can setup different channels for different newsfeeds (i.e. an HN channel for the frontpage).

I was using https://monitorss.xyz – but it's barely had any changes, and needing to manage the external UI has been annoying.

I wish it would be the other way around, RSS feeds -from- the walled garden of discord guilds ("servers"). I don't want to make a discord account and join 1000 different guilds just to see updates on some game or software project.

This is what I thought it was from the title.

I feel old.

Depending and needing to learn two external services to deploy what should have a been a simple `docker-compose.yml` on localhost or on a VM seems cumbersome to say the least.

Oh... I got too excited by the headline.

Thing is, I have a RSS reader already. It's free and open source, isn't updated 8 times a week, works without access to your microphone and it would never try to sell me Nitro.

What I want (and what I thought this was), is to be able to convert certain discord channels into rss feeds.

To OP: If you want a self hosted feature complete rss aggregator, I recommend you try https://www.freshrss.org/
