FeedCord

FeedCord is a compact C# background service that monitors RSS, Atom, YouTube and some other feed types and posts new items to Discord channels using webhooks. It is configured via a local JSON file, can run in Docker, and is optimized for posting to Discord Forum channels and embed-style messages.

Key Features

• Posts RSS/Atom and YouTube channel updates to Discord using webhooks with configurable embed content and color
• Supports multiple independent instances/configurations from a single appsettings.json file
• Docker image provided for easy deployment; can also be built and run with the .NET SDK
• Configurable polling interval, concurrent HTTP requests limit, retry/backoff behavior and Discord rate limit buffer
• Optional persistence to track seen items across restarts and an auto-remove option for problematic feeds
• Gallery-style embeds and improved image handling (including retry attempts and user-agent cycling)
• Markdown support and description length limits; improved Atom, Reddit and feed parsing via dedicated parsing libraries

Use Cases

• Automatically publish blog/article updates and YouTube uploads into a community Discord server to boost activity
• Feed-to-Discord bridge for moderators to aggregate news, releases, or project updates into forum channels
• Personal or small-team notification channel for monitoring specific sites, subreddits or YouTube channels

Limitations and Considerations

• Configuration is file-based (appsettings.json); there is no built-in web UI or multi-tenant management console
• Persistence is file-based and geared toward small-to-medium feed lists; very large-scale deployments may need additional tuning
• Integration is webhook-first (Discord webhooks); it does not provide a full Discord bot with OAuth-based permissions

FeedCord is a focused, low-ops solution for sending feed updates into Discord channels. It is well-suited for community servers and personal deployments that need reliable, configurable feed posting without a heavy infrastructure footprint.
