Show HN: A GitHub action to publish Discord help forums

1 pointsby floitschabout 2 months ago
As maintainers of our open-source project, we provide support on multiple different channels: Stack Overflow, GitHub discussions, and Discord.<p>The problem: Most activity happens on Discord, where questions aren&#x27;t indexable&#x2F;searchable.<p>To fix this, we build a small GitHub action that generates transcripts of our help forum. We run this action every hour and then publish the result via GitHub pages.<p>The heavy lifting of the action is done by <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ItzDerock&#x2F;discord-html-transcripts" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ItzDerock&#x2F;discord-html-transcripts</a>, a node.js module by Derock that generates chat transcripts. We just wrapped it into a GitHub action so it is more easily reusable.<p>You can see our help page at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;help.toit.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;help.toit.io</a>, with the corresponding GitHub action here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;toitware&#x2F;web-help&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;.github&#x2F;workflows&#x2F;publish.yml" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;toitware&#x2F;web-help&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;.github&#x2F;workf...</a>.
