# Gardener 🌱
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a tool for making a weed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
weed
|
||
|
|
: short for "web feed"
|
||
|
|
: an rss-only blog
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(All of the content is in the RSS feed. There is no web content.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## About
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This uses pandoc's `--template` flag to create an rss feed item.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See `feed.tmpl`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Motivation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RSS is dead, but we never stopped using it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are the necromancers who fill it with the foul mimicry of life.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/)
|
||
|
|
- [casey/just](https://github.com/casey/just)
|
||
|
|
- [sharkdp/fd](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd)
|

|
|
## Getting Started
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Edit the `vars` section at the top of the justfile
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Edit the `author` tag in `feed.tmpl`. Or, as a learning exercise, change the contents of the tag to `$author$` and start including an "author" value in the front matter of all your markdown sources. See how that works?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Create a new markdown file in `/src`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Give it the following YAML metadata block
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
title: 'title of my post'
|
||
|
|
created_at: 'Mon, 24 Jan 2022 17:26:03 -0700'
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that values need to be quoted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note further that the timestamp should in RFC 5532 format. (`date -R`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Write the rest of your post
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Run `just build` to assemble your xml
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. Edit the `up` recipe in the justfile so you can upload to your server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8. If you're feeling swoopy, run `just all` to build and upload in one fell swoop.
