I recently discovered "lace", which is a tinylog personal aggregator.
I keep my own tinylog, which I call "chirps". I decided to automate things a bit. It relies on Racket, and you can make a post by typing:
racket chirp.rkt
Type your chirp, and finish it by putting a "." on a new line. Nothing else. The utility will date it for you, and edit your tinylog file. It looks for the signifier "---" on a line by itself to separate introductory material from the main content. So you will need to add it after any preamble.
You need to edit the "settings.rkt" file to set the value of "tinylog-file", which is the location of your tinylog file.
I think you may need to "raco setup" a module or two, but I hadn't noted them down. Installation should be fairly straightforward, though.
It was a fun little project.
