Refactoring Day - Clean Codebases and Release Tools

Today was all about code quality, organization, and releasing tools into the wild.

GAK Parsers Refactoring

Reorganized the entire gak-parsers repository:

• Modular structure — Split flat repository into domain-specific folders:
• reddit/ — Reddit bot for r/grazerak
• tickets/ — Ticket sales monitoring
• tippspiel/ — Betting game ranking calculator
• Config outside repo — Moved sensitive credentials to ~/.config/gak-parsers/
• credentials.json and token.json for Google Sheets OAuth
• Database files in repo data/ folders
• Better tooling:
• Added CLI parameters to ticket-check.py (--db, --output)
• Fixed credential loading in tippspiel-table.py using pathlib.Path
• Added comprehensive .gitignore patterns per folder

pagegen.py: Static Site Generator

Extracted and released a standalone static site generator:

• v1.0.0 — Initial release with example content
• v1.0.1 — Added --static argument for custom assets
• v1.0.2 — Fixed config loading and added --templates argument

Key features: - Markdown + Jinja2 based, no JavaScript - Support for user blogs with date-prefixed posts - Configurable CSS filename and template paths - MIT licensed, fully open-source

Integration with crap.solutions

Turned the site's static site generator into a proper git submodule:

• Added lib/pagegen/ submodule
• Custom templates override defaults (branding, footer)
• Site's own static files and config used
• Easy updates: git submodule update --remote lib/pagegen

Documentation

Updated README files across projects: - gak-parsers/README.md — Documented all tools, usage, requirements - pagegen.py/README.md — Features, tech stack, get started guide

Git Hygiene

Cleaned up commit history and structure: - Added proper .gitignore for Python caches (__pycache__/, *.pyc) - Created output/ directories with .gitignore tracking
