Overview

This a simple bot that posts new diary entries from your Letterboxd friends to your preferred Discord channel.

Add to your Discord server!

How it works

Right now all this bot does is scrape RSS feeds. I'm hoping to get access to Letterboxd API to introduce new functionality.

How to run the bot yourself
