Introduction

I publish a daily stakeholder report to the TSYS Group discourse every day. Up until 11/29 I was performing the publishing step manually. On 11/29 I automated the pdf creation and publishing to discourse procedure.

I also begin work on automated gathering of data going into the new version of the report that is in development.

Scripts

Start a new day

Start a new day. See the script: endstops/start-day.sh

Create a new (blank) DSR

See the script: dsr-joplin-create/dsr-new.sh

Populate the new DSR with objectives for the day

See the script: dsr-joplin-create/dsr-populate-objectives.sh

End the day

End the day. See the script: endstops/end-day.sh

Collating and Publishing the report

Publishing the report involves three steps:

1. Exporting the markdown from Joplin (and any attachments (i often take screenshots throughout the day)) I am still doing this manually due to having issues installing the Joplin CLI.

2. Creating a (formatted/styled) PDF from the exported markdown/attachments. See the script: dsr-publish/create-dsr-pdf.sh.

3. Uploading the PDF to discourse and creating a new topic in the appropriate category. See the script: dsr-publish/publish-dsr.sh

Gathering data for the report
