#arcade-monitor

#arcade-monitor is a monitor for the Hack Club Arcade Shop. It continuously checks for new items, stock changes, and item updates, keeping you in the loop on the stuff you want.

Environment variables

Secrets

  • SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL - Slack webhook to call on updates
  • NTFY_AUTH_TOKEN - Auth token for ntfy

Variables

  • ARCADE_SHOP_URL - Shop URL to fetch
  • NTFY_URL - URL for ntfy

Tech Stack

  • Cloudflare Workers for running the monitor on the edge.
  • Rust for the monitor's code. I love its type safety, as well as libraries such as serde.

Fun fact: the monitor was originally written in TypeScript, but it turned out to be so buggy I just rewrote it in Rust. The new version took less time to write, has tests (unlike the TypeScript version), and has better formatted messages.
