Currently, the feed feature works as follows:
- Download the contents of the RSS feed.
- Sort the feed by "published date"
- Looking at the last time there was new content, remove all entries equal to or older than this date.
- Do we have any entries left in the feed?
4.1. Yes: Take the latest one, and send it to the channel in the format specified. - Wait X seconds (30 s by default) and return to step 1.
We can add an option to step 4 that just says: "Write all new entries to the channel". This way, if a hot topic is happening on Twitter or elsewhere, we can catch all the news as it happens in the chat room.
