- requires the slugify gem - gem install slugify

- opens the file in your default editor as set by macOS, not your shell

- does nothing to keep the slug length reasonable, so your film review of

slug.

- hpost.rb --help for help on the options

require 'optparse' require 'slugify' require 'date'
