TaskCards RSS Feed Generator

This project provides a simple way to generate an RSS feed from a TaskCards board. It uses a Node.js server with Express to handle requests and fetches data from the TaskCards GraphQL API.

Motivation

I wrote mostly generated this as a toy project to play around with "vibe coding".

Also, my kid's teacher uses TaskCards to inform parents, and I became annoyed by always having to go to the board to manually check for updates. Since TaskCards doesn't seem to provide an RSS feed natively, I wrote this small converter tool.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher recommended)
• npm (usually comes with Node.js)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd taskcards-rss

2. Install the dependencies:

   npm install

Local Usage

1. Start the server:

   node index.js

   The server will run on http://localhost:3000 by default.

2. Access the RSS feed:

   Open your browser or RSS reader and navigate to:

   http://localhost:3000/rss/<your-board-id>
   

   Replace <your-board-id> with the actual ID of your TaskCards board. You can find this ID in the URL of your board (e.g., https://www.taskcards.de/#/board/8a8ca8ce-b77f-4d6a-a41c-023ffb4a7c5f).
