RocketFeed: Gemfeed to Atom Converter

I'm not sure how many people out there on gemini are subscribing to atom feeds vs plain old gemini feeds, but I spent part of today writing a quick program to get an atom feed from a gemfeed. I'm now using it to generate the atom feed of my posts from my log index page.

Here it is on GitHub in case anyone else thinks they'll find it useful.

Up to now I've been using gemfeed.py which works well but not quite in the way I expect. Instead of looking at the gemfeed and building an atom feed from that, it scrapes the directory you keep your posts in and gets the post date from the file metadata. Because of this I've sometimes found myself having to be extra careful not to accidentally publish unfinished drafts or republish old posts after I've edited them.

RocketFeed instead parses your gemfeed and gets all the atom feed data from there.

If anyone uses it and finds any issues please let me know!
