Posting digital garden seedlings from Bike

I added a way to post digital garden seedlings to the blog.

What are seedlings?

Seedlings are half-done articles/notes kept in a digital garden.

They are like drafts, but we keep them public because not every one of them will be finalized.

I can also use seedlings to privately reply to people using my blog and send them the link.

Seedlings are entirely hidden, but you can find them if you know their URL.

The goal

The goal of my Zettelkasten is to develop my notes into posts I publish here.

I’m migrating my Zettelkasten notes from Craft into Bike because it’s more open , and I can do fun things with it , like post directly from it to my blog.

Posting seedlings from Bike

There are note branches in my Zettelkasten, which can be migrated to a seedling, so I can start working on it.

I extract these notes into separate files, naming them using their number from my Zettelkasten.

I can invoke a simple Ruby script, which is going to prepare and post to my blog.

The script also links them using Hookmark , so I can switch back and forth between writing the post and previewing it.
