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