Autogenerate GitHub Discussions to be used by Giscus.
This came from a need to support Giscus without requiring users to authenticate with the app. Since the discussion isn’t created until someone comments, we needed a way to automatically create it once a blog post was uploaded.
This crate checks for the latest post in the blog’s RSS feed, and then extracts the contents needed to create a discussion post, formatted as follows:
- Title: URL path of the post (not including base URL)
- Description: Pulled from the
<meta name="description">tag, followed by a full link
The program works best when run after the RSS feed has been updated with the most recent post. This may require you to introduce a delay.
§Exit codes
Generally the program will panic to exit. There is one exception to this rule - if a discussion
post already exists, it will use COMMENTS_EXIST.
Structs§

Clients - Monostruct containing the HTML and GraphQL clients used to create the discussion, along with the necessary URLs.
