What I want is a Python script which, when executed, will find the most recent devlog entry in Obsidian, ask a couple questions, and spit out files in the correct format for Hugo.
Steps:
- List entries in the Obsidian folder
- List entries in the Hugo folder
- Select the most recent entry in Obsidian, if there’s already a Hugo entry with a matching timestamp, select the next most recent entry and repeat.
- Display the contents of the entry to help me work out the title & summary.
- Output the file.
- Provide a link to the page hosted on the local server.
Regarding number 4… should I create a summary in the frontmatter of the Obsidian note itself instead of typing it in during the import process? I will be able to look at the file and its images quickly, plus I already do this kind of thinking and typing in Obsidian.
Adding frontmatter in Obsidian is pretty straightforward so I’ll do that.
Step 5. “Output the file” has some extra stuff going on behind the scenes. I’m not just copying the markdown file from one place to another.
- Add frontmatter.
- Get a list of all images included in the post and copy those across as well.
