🦋 ABOUT 🦋

so chronicle-spooler is a companion script to the chronicle blog compiler. the duo. the dynamic. iconic honestly.

her whole thing is facilitating posting new entries automatically upon particular dates. like — say you've got ten already-written blog entries chillin' in a spool directory? she will move them into place upon the date you specified. future-you doesn't even have to lift a finger. the way that works is genuinely so slay.

🎀 DATE SPECIFICATION 🎀

okay so to specify the date a particular entry should be made live, you gotta add another pseudo-header to your blog entry files. like this:

Title:  This is the title of the blog post
Date:  2nd March 2007
Publish: 15th April 2008
Tags: one, two, three, long tag

The text of your entry goes here.

so in this example we know that this entry will be made live upon the 15th April 2008, and not before. she's patient. she's waiting. she's lowkey obsessed with that date. 🔥
