Create blogs in Github Pages using Discord.

How does it work?

• The worker.py is able to run a Discord bot which will have commands that you can use to update your blog in Github Pages.
• The program derives an html page from base.html and replaces placeholders for date, title and content to what you give it on discord.
• I originally came up with this to work on my own blog and it hasn't been bad.
• The bot provides minimal functionality as it was made as a personal project. I will polish it depending on the attention it gets or you're more than welcome to open a PR.

How to use

• clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/aswinnnn/blog-my-mind.git

• The bot relies on discord.py (stable version) so make sure you got that.
• edit config.json

{"github-username": "the x in your x.github.io",
"discord-bot-token": "your discord bot token"}

• place the files in your x.github.io repo folder.
• run python worker.py
• requires Python 9 or above, tested on Python 10.4.

Using the bot

• Do ,help in the discord chat after running worker.py and making sure the bot is in the server.

There are 4 basic commands:

• date: example: ,date 9 August 2022 or anything really, its a str.
• title: example: ,title My Perfect Blog
• content: example: ,content This will be the content of your blog article. You are allowed to use html stylings in here such as <i> this </i> or <u> that </u>.
• post: Lets you see the blog before uploading it.
• upload: Uploads the blog.

Things to note:

• If you change the folder name from blog it will stop working until you change it in the code too.
• Don't forget to edit base.html and index.html according to your liking.
• the blog doesn't update index.html, you'll have to do it yourself.
• You can change the base.html but leave the placeholders alone, unless you update it in worker.py.
