Previously the bot seeded all existing feed items on startup WITHOUT posting, so a freshly-created channel stayed empty and new subscribers saw nothing (only items appearing after start were posted). Now on first run it posts the latest items (max 5) to fill the channel — recent history then shows them to joiners — and sets an rss_populated flag so restarts don't replay. Existing (empty) bots get filled once on next start. Update rss_test.py. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Support Bot — AI Configuration
The support bot supports any OpenAI-compatible AI backend.
# xAI Grok (default)
AI_API_KEY=xai-xxx npm start -- --team-group "Support" --context-file ctx.txt
# Ollama (local, no key needed)
npm start -- --team-group "Support" --context-file ctx.txt \
--ai-url http://localhost:11434/v1 \
--ai-model llama3.2
# OpenAI
AI_API_KEY=sk-xxx npm start -- --team-group "Support" --context-file ctx.txt \
--ai-url https://api.openai.com/v1 \
--ai-model gpt-4o
GROK_API_KEY is still accepted as a legacy alias for AI_API_KEY.
Web Frontend
Static site for the SimpleXXX directory. Reads from web/data/listing.json and web/data/promoted.json written by the simplexxx-directory bot (--web-folder flag).
Serve with any static file server:
cd web && python3 -m http.server 8080
# or nginx pointing at this directory
Python Manager
Coming soon — FastAPI-based manager to create and manage multiple SimpleX bot profiles from a web UI.
