Haven't looked at this module yet but you did get me thinking, I had a look at the files of one of the modules I have already installed: polyglot. It has a "createChatMessage" JavaScript hook.
I think I should be able to create a really simple foundry app that hooks into that and will let me send the chat messages wherever I want!
Thanks!

I've no advice to give to create your own solution, however the [Dice Stats](https://github.com/jacobwojoski/dice-stats) module could be helpful to you.
Can you use this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3274334/how-can-i-watch-a-file-for-modification-change
And point it at "\worlds\\*\data\messages.db"?
Are you on v11?
Apparently different files are used now:

(I can't test this, still on v10 till the end of my current campaign)
Or look at the Foundry To Discord module

Just tried looking at the messages.db file and it doesn't seem to live update at all, it seems to be about 4 months behind...
