Freebies

Receive notifications for free games on the Epic Game Store via ntfy.

Usage

Only requires the Nim compiler, no external libraries are used. Build with:

nim c -d:ssl freebies.nim

The program can either be run with its own internal timer via freebies, where the program will check at 18:00 UTC whether a new game has been posted.

You can also run the program once with freebies -c. This is useful if you instead want to run the program via a cronjob.

Subscribe to your favorite ntfy server to receive notifications. By default, this program uses the giveaways topic, although if you plan on using the ntfy.sh server, you'll likely want to be a more obscure topic.
