I have been thinking some about this over the past few days. No real work has been done due to my professional licencing course for architecture coming to an end back in Ireland and having a final few pieces to tie up with that. Currently static pages seem to be the only real piece missing that I would need to add to make this sort of feature equivalent with what I had in my head.
It turns out I had already done some of the heavy lifting for this a few weeks ago and it is just checking a flag or two to exclude generated pages from the index if they are not currently using the post template. I need to add a way to include these exluded static pages elsewhere in the template, but that is as much of a design task as it is programming. I made a first commit that starts on this work in a separate branch to sourcehut and github and will try finish that feature this weekend before merging back in.
In other news with this, I created a v0.1 source and binary release of the tool that can be found in the github.
Here is the release on github for anyone interested in trying it out. The release includes a starting template showing set up of the site and the whole thing generates when the executable is run. It is very fast as expected, seeing as all it does is do a small bit of text manipulation. I like the workflow.
