+## Update 15/August/2020
+
+I launched the gemlog the day after I wrote this, and wrote a little bit about it in passing but nothing super specific. I eventually want to be able to provide access to the git repository behind this whole thing via gemini, but it is a bit tricky given that this is running in a container. Anyway, you may notice that the deploy hook now runs build.py. That walks the articles sub directory of whatever path it is given and renders out the proper index and item Gemini markup files as well as generating the atom feed of all of the posts. Like my web site it regenerates all content idempotently so it can be run over and over again on top of itself without worrying. Unlike my web site it is extremely simple, weighing in at around 200 lines (including comments and license information) versus the web version's 2000 lines. The difference is in no small thanks to how much simpler Gemini is to what even a fairly simple web site is expected to be these days.
