I open /n/ftrv.se/www/blah.md in my text editor, edit markdown, save.
To create a draft, the file name used is `_blah.md` instead, so the
post is only visible if accessed directly.  To enable comments, I run
`touch /n/ftrv.se/www/blah.comments`.  Short one-line description for
RSS is stored as plain text in `blah.descr`.  Each post has a comment
like `<!-- date 2020-05-22T14:13:54+02:00 -->` that provides a way to
specify when the post was *actually* modified, regardless of any
filesystem timestamps.

The server software does the rest (rendering to HTML, Gemtext, RSS,
etc).  Server filesystem is mounted with sshfs at all times.
