Discord News Network Bot
Automated RSS news delivery for Discord channels
01 // OVERVIEW
This daemon is an automated solution that keeps developers up to date on global and Indian technology changes, startup growth, and cybersecurity alerts without leaving Discord.
02 // THE PROBLEM
Manually looking through blogs, newsletters, and news sources to share relevant summaries on Discord was exhausting and highly inconsistent.
03 // THE BUILD
Written entirely in Python utilizing parallel ThreadPoolExecutor routines to query numerous RSS streams simultaneously. Deploys an MD5-based fingerprint signature of article contents to filter duplicate reports.
04 // ARCHITECTURE
Runs on a scheduled cron runner, parsing feeds, executing deduplication against local historical digests, and posting content directly to target Discord channels via Secure Webhooks.
05 // CHALLENGES
Feeds sharing the same stories had different title structures and formats, triggering redundant deliveries. Solved using title normalization and blocklist keywords.
06 // RESULTS
Successfully runs in ~65 seconds, cleaning historic messages and publishing pristine categorized digests daily.
07 // LESSONS
Learned advanced multi-threading, stream normalization, and the mechanics of Discord webhook payload design.
