  3. markdown-it

    Markdown parser, done right. 100% CommonMark support, extensions, syntax plugins & high speed

    We can easily use markdown-it, a markdown parser for rendering a mix of JavaScript and plain text into a markdown file. To get started, kindly create a new directory with the following file structure:

  4. Puts Debuggerer

    Ruby library for improved puts debugging, automatically displaying bonus useful information such as source line number and source code.

  5. octokit.js

    The all-batteries-included GitHub SDK for Browsers, Node.js, and Deno.

    You can fetch different kinds of data with GitHub's API. There are two options: use the API directly or the Octokit.js library (this is the route GitHub recommends). I decided to use the API directly since the Octokit.js library included extra stuff I wouldn't need, which is an overkill for this use case.

  6. rss-parser

    A lightweight RSS parser, for Node and the browser

    Since both RSS feeds are similar in structure, I can create a fetchRssData() function in src/fetchRssData.ts for both. We will first use the rss-parser library to turn the RSS XML feeds into JavaScript objects and then iterate to find the necessary fields.

  7. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.
