Discord Webhook QOTD Bot - Rust rewrite

A Rust rewrite of discord-webhook-qotd-bot, an application that posts a "question of the day" to a Discord channel using a webhook, done to learn the language. Like the original Node.js project, it accepts a JSON array containing questions.

Features

• Doesn't maintain its own schedule by design, as such features are provided by the operating system (Task Scheduler on Windows, cron on Linux)
• Automatically saves and increments progress
• Sends visually appealing embeds with additional information, such as the amount of questions remaining
• Starts over from the beginning when all questions have been asked
• Not vibe coded

Usage

1. Copy the example question and progress files, found in the example_data directory, where you want to store this data.
2. Edit the questions.json file to add your own questions, adhering to the format.
3. Build the project using cargo build --release or download the precompiled binary from the releases page.
4. Run the program, specifying all the required environment variables:

• DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL: The URL of the Discord webhook to send messages to.
• PROGRESS_FILE: The path to the progress file (default: progress.json).
• QUESTION_FILE: The location to the file containing questions (default: questions.json).

5. Schedule it to run at your desired interval using your operating system's task scheduler.
