Hi!

I also made a tool which periodically monitors code.dlang.org for 
new packages and a notifies its Telegram subscribers.

To subscribe just write something to  dlang_announce_bot
Also it can be added to groups.

Cool! BTW any reason why you parse the HTML and not use the JSON index? Also adding a new API route to the dub registry might be a bit API friendlier then fetching all packages on every cron operation. Generating the index JSON is rather expensive (until a few recent fixes, you could kill the registry by requesting the index.json a few times in a row). Though of course the dub registry (or its reverse proxy) could cache the result for a bit...

As I know, code.dlang.org provides JSON package list without any additional info. Thus, it is need to parse every package separately by calling https://code.dlang.org/packages/*.json to get packages versions, and it is need to do for every registerd package.

Hmm, I just wanted to point out that in the time it took you to write the HTML parser, you could have added an API method to the registry: https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/blob/master/source/dubregistry/api.d I created an issue, s.t. this isn't lost in the NG space: https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/issues/326 Oh and the reason why I point out that parsing the HTML isn't ideal, it's because it might change soon, e.g. https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/pull/303

No, because my target was "obtain working bot as fast as possible" Thanks for your PR!

Hi Denis, I'm checking out the source code on github to try to figure it out but could you help me learn how to make a Telegram bot?
