What

A simple CLI tool that lets Alexander:

  1. Create a new post from a one-liner: aw-post "Sovereignty isn't optional."
  2. Port an X/Twitter post by pasting the text: aw-post --from-x "original tweet text"
  3. Create longer posts from a file: aw-post --file thoughts.md

Why

If posting to your own site is harder than tweeting, you won't do it. The tool must be frictionless.

Proposed Implementation

#!/bin/bash
# aw-post — quick post to AlexanderWhitestone.com
POSTS_DIR=~/alexanderwhitestone.com/content/posts
DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M)
SLUG=$(echo "$1" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -cs '[:alnum:]' '-' | head -c 50)
FILE="$POSTS_DIR/$DATE-$SLUG.md"

cat > "$FILE" <<EOF
---
date: $(date -Iseconds)
---

$1
EOF

echo "Posted: $FILE"
echo "Run 'make build' to regenerate, or push to trigger CI"

Scope

  • Simple bash script (~30 lines)
  • Drops into the site repo's scripts/ directory
  • Optionally auto-commits and pushes

Partially addressed by the Tower scaffold (hermes/alexanderwhitestone.com#1). CLI tool (scripts/aw-post) creates markdown posts with frontmatter. Remaining: X/Twitter cross-posting integration, content formatting for social media.

Completed in hermes/alexanderwhitestone.com PR #3.

aw-post now supports:

  • aw-post "Title" — basic post (body from stdin)
  • aw-post --from-x "tweet text" — port X/Twitter posts
  • aw-post --file thoughts.md — post from markdown file
  • aw-post --help — usage

All modes auto-rebuild the blog. Closing.
