Notes on this Gemini site

Content

• Public notes
• A weblog type thing (gemlog?)

Writing & Publishing

• Write locally, rsync to the server.
• Make a little script to post Gemini pages to Mastodon

Publishing Script

Write a script that takes text files in gemtext format, adds header & footer, generates index, atom feed.

Example title-of-the-post.txt:

# Title of the Post
2022-11-01

Blah blah blah something whatever.

=> http://example.com Blah

Script grabs title and date, makes filename (cut, tr, &c.)

2022-11-01-title-of-the-post.gmi

and generates the index.gmi with links like this (which work as a feed in some/most clients?):

2022-11-01-title-of-the-post.gmi 2022-11-01 Title of the Post

and concatentates header.tmpl, *.txt, footer.tmpl, to make a gemlog post like this:

=> /~mot/ Home
=> /~mot/log/ Gemlog
=> /~mot/log/atom.xml Atom Feed

# Title of the Post
2022-11-01

Blah blah blah something whatever.

=> http://example.com Blah

Some fascinating writing about topics and subjects and such.

=> gemini://link-to-post Permalink
=> https://link-to-post Web version

and a web version, too.
