Post Scheduler

Overview

The Static Site Post Scheduler is a serverless project that allows owners of static sites to schedule posts or other content. It is compatible with various static site setups such as Jekyll, Hugo, Phenomic, and Gatsby. The project utilizes a GitHub webhook that is triggered when pull requests (new posts) are updated. Once a pull request comment matching the format "schedule(MM/DD/YYYY H:MM pm)" is made by a collaborator, the post is scheduled. A serverless cron job then runs every hour to check if a post is ready to be published. When the post is due, the cron function automatically merges the branch into master, and if CI/CD is implemented, the site will redeploy itself. Scheduled posts can be canceled by deleting the scheduled comment.
