Static blog generator sketch

Basic concept

Transform set of markdown files into HTML blog
- Per-article HTML pages
  - Main HTML page with recent articles
  - RSS feed
Start by hardcoding webpage template etc
Libraries required
- Will need to generate HTML and templating is the standard solution
  - Seems like Jinja is widely-used including in Flask, might as well try it: https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/
- Will need to store some metadata on articles
  - SQLite seems suitable, or a flat file, but probably SQLite which I would like to try anyways
    - Now built into Python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html
- Will need a Markdown engine to parse posts:
  - https://pypi.org/project/Markdown/
- Will need to emit RSS
  - Feedgen seems like the defacto standard: https://github.com/lkiesow/python-feedgen
- I could use argparse for a command line tool but I think it's kinda annoying compared to Click so I'll use that

Add a Markdown file to a directory of posts
Execute a command to parse the directory
Output HTML of Markdown files transformed to HTML and inserted into Jinja template to the filesystem
Use git push to upload to Github pages

Follow-up enhancements:

Diff directory of posts against prior state in SQLite to detect any new posts.
- Alternate option: treat file modification date as post time— n.b. file creation isn't available on Unix systems
Emit an RSS feed
