🏆 Weekly Challenge: Build Your First Automation
Goal: Create an automation that fetches something from the internet and posts it somewhere.
Choose your level:
🟢 Beginner: Use Zapier or IFTTT. Connect a free RSS feed (like Hacker News) to post new articles to a Discord channel or email.
🔵 Intermediate: Use n8n or OpenClaw. Build a script that reads an RSS feed, filters for keywords, and sends a webhook to Discord with a formatted embed.
🟣 Advanced: Build a complete pipeline like Echo. RSS feed → Python script → categorize → dedup → Discord webhook + static blog rebuild.
Rules:
- Share your build in #project-showcase
- Include what you built, what tool you used, and one thing you learned
- Deadline: Sunday 23:59 SAST
Prizes:
- 🏅 Completion role
- 🏆 Featured in next week's community recap
- 💡 Your build may become a future tutorial
