Zulip Blog Bot

This is our RC Impossible Day 2024 project - a tool that turns Zulip messages directly into blog posts!.

Creating a Blog

Send a DM to Blog Bot (HyperTXT) that looks like the following:

      SUBDOMAIN: yoursitename
      BLOG_NAME: Witty Blog Name
      AUTHOR: Your secret pseudonym or something
    

This will create your blog! It'll be available at <username>.hypertxt.io.

Publishing a Post

To publish something to your site, @-mention Blog Bot (HyperTXT) and that message will be pushed as a post to your site! Here's an example:

      @Blog Bot (HyperTXT)

      TITLE: Title of my sparklingly brilliant post

      Words! Things! Stuff! Trials and tribulations
    

Adding a TITLE: ... is optional, and can also be specified by using a markdown header (e.g. # My Title). If you don't provide one, it'll default to today's date. Your post can contain all the usual Markdown shenanigans, including code + syntax highlighting.
