mastorss/README.md

**mastorss** dumps RSS feeds into a mastodon account.
Supports RSS 2.0 but not RSS 0.92. Does not support Atom at the moment.

\<item\>s in feeds must have \<link\>, \<title\> and \<description\>.

The documentation is far from complete, sorry.

## Get sourcecode

### Development version

## Compile

    mkdir build
    cd build/

    make

## Install

Install with `make install`.

# Usage

Put `watchwords.json` into `~/.config/mastorss/`. Launch with profile name.
The first occurence of every watchword in an RSS item will be turned into a hashtag.
For profile-specific watchwords see the example in `watchwords.json`.
In the first run only the newest entry is tooted.

The profile can't be named "global".

    {
        "example": {
            "instance": "botsin.space",

                "Skip me too!"
            ],
