Feeder

Web application for scheduling and publishing content feeds to FreeFeed.

Stack

• Rails (edge), PostgreSQL

• Kamal deployment

Development

bin/setup
bin/rails server
bin/rails test
yarn test:javascript
bin/rubocop -f github

Ruby version: see .ruby-version

Architecture

• Feed refresh workflow: Load → Process → Filter → Persist → Normalize → Publish
• Normalizers: Transform feed entries to FreeFeed posts (RSS, XKCD)
• Validation: Reject posts with missing content/URLs, track metrics
• Sparse metrics: Only record daily stats when there's activity

Testing

bin/rails test
yarn test:javascript

JavaScript tests require bundled gems and yarn install --frozen-lockfile. They use the same Stimulus asset as the browser, provided by stimulus-rails.
