about

a convoluted pipeline of transformations that creates an html log of tv shows, podcasts, and music from a plain text database.

this is what powers http://tilde.town/~dozens/consume/

features

• plain text database!
• ed?
• produces html/css/javascript (js for filtering content type; css for lookin good; html because don't you want to read it??)
• rss feed

dependencies

• recutils: https://www.gnu.org/software/recutils/
• mustache: https://mustache.github.io/
• csvjson (csvkit): https://csvkit.readthedocs.io/
• jq: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
• (optional) just: https://github.com/casey/just

getting started

1. install dependencies

2. update templates/feed.mustache and templates/html.mustache to include your own links and information for the generated rss and html. update the up recipe in the justfile to put the generated files wherever you want them.

3. run just new. or copy the 'new' script from the justfile into a bash file and run it. NOTE: this script runs ed(1), because that's what I like. If you are not familiar with ed(1), change that part of the script to use $EDITOR. If you would like to be familiar with ed(1) then check out the links listed below.

4. just html and just rss will build the html and rss respectively. Again, you can cobble these together from the justfile into a bash script if you don't have/want to install just. just build will assemble both the html and the rss.
