Simple bot that transfers new HackerNews (and others) RSS topics to an IRC channel.
Bot reads feeds.cfg in .INI format that defines a name and an URL of the RSS:
[feeds]
HN = https://news.ycombinator.com/rss
TorrentFreak = http://feeds.feedburner.com/Torrentfreak
Pinboard = https://feeds.pinboard.in/rss/popular/
It can react on commands like $date and a simple system of plugins was introduced.
Please visit #999net on Freenode to check it out, but in your version use our own, please. Say "list" to the bot to find out what is currently published.
