       Ideas for an aggregator
       February 06th, 2018
       ----------------------------------------
       
       I want to build a new gopher aggregator, specifically for phlogs,
       and I want it to work in a very particular way. I'm not sure this
       is going to be a general solve for everyone, but if I can do it
       right it will work for my personal use.
       
       Version 1 Plan:
       
         - It should know that a phlog has been updated, not a whole
           gopherhole.
       
           - I should provide it an array of gophermaps to keep track of.
       
           - The gophermap will be hashed each day--store the hashes in
             a file for simplicity, or a sqlite db-- and if the hash
             changed from the previous day, that link is added to the
             daily list.
       
           - If the link doesn't resolve, ignore. It might be temporary.
       
         - It should organize phlog updates by date so I can go back if
           I missed a couple entries (like Bongusta)
       
         - It should auto-update daily
       
         - Output should be simple:
       
           - Master gophermap is a symlink to the current month.
       
           - Each gophermap is a year-month for easy archival
       
           - Viewing the directory will list the archive and current
       
           - Linking to current will include a link to the archive
             (directory view)
       
       Version 2 Plan:
       
         - The link added to the aggregated list should point to the new
           entry, not the main gophermap. 
       
           - Potentially do a diff on the gophermap if the hash has
             changed and try to identify new links?
       
           - Grab any new links and drop them in verbatim, potentially
       
             - Relative links might need to be rewritten
       
             - Problems with changed links?
       
           - Would this be instead of linking to the map, or in addition
             (sub links under a heading?)
       
           - Allow a way for people to submit their phlog to the list and
             make it a public system instead of a private aggregator
           
       My plan was to implement this in Perl as a way to learn Perl.
       I may still go ahead with that, but it might be easier for me to
       build with my current knowledge in python. Regardless, if anyone
       reading this wants to take a stab at it, go right ahead. I'd
       rather have the tool than be the one to write it.
