This is it, this is the start.

My very own blog, with blog software written by myself, because of course I want features that's not in any other software.

This whole blog is a single PHP class (300 lines of code!), which reads a `config.toml`, `games/*.md`, `posts/*.md`, and `pages/*.md` 
and builds the whole "database" of this blog in-memory. and this all in _\*checks notes\*_ 22ms.

Of course this won't scale, so for that reason I have added "cache", if no `listing.json` is found, 
it will write this whole in-memory database to disk in JSON, and when it exists it will use this
instead of reading all markdown files.

The markdown files are split in 2 parts, split by `---`, the top part contains the metadata in toml, 
and the bottom part is Just Markdown™, see the following example:

```markdown
title = "Lorem ipsum"
description = "I know about 2 latin"
date = 1997-02-01T13:37:00
tags = ["latin", "why"]

Outside that, all pages are rendered in Twig, because twig is nice.

Well, see ya soon for as [Turtle](https://twitter.com/Threetle) coined it, *eater's Ero Evaluations* aka, *E3*.

Also might review all the monster I bought, idk. just see this as me tweeting, but it's way over the 280 character limit.
