This repository provides a Python CLI tool and Makefile pipeline to scrape all essays from Paul Graham's website (paulgraham.com), convert them to Markdown, and produce an EPUB ebook. The core logic resides in a single script (`graham.py`) that uses `requests`, `BeautifulSoup`, `html2text`, and `htmldate` to download, parse, and date-stamp each essay. A `Makefile` orchestrates the full build: creating a virtual environment, fetching essays, merging them with `pandoc`, and generating the final EPUB with a custom CSS and an iBooks dark-mode patch. The CI workflow (GitHub Actions) runs daily, detects new essays by comparing article counts, and automatically creates a release with the updated EPUB and metadata CSV. The architecture is straightforward—no web server, database, or tests—but the pipeline is robust and well-documented for its single purpose. While the scraper is tightly coupled to Paul Graham's site structure, several components (the iBooks patcher, the footnote conversion function, and the EPUB stylesheet) are cleanly isolated and reusable in other EPUB generation projects.
