2024-03-15 A linkblog for IRC and Discord channels

A while ago I wrote a bot called Norn that optionally connects to an IRC server and one or more Discord "servers". It keeps notes for events, for specific dates and for date ranges. It remembers answers to questions or prompts. Yesterday I added the ability to remember links. The links are exported to HTML and RSS files for all to see, so it serves as a way to keep up for those who are not as strongly invested into those online communities.

In all these these cases, the bot treats all the channels that have the same name as "the same". This can get weird. My hope, of course, is that this is cool. We'll see.

The first two links are specific for my use of Norn:
