Issues running amsterdam

It looks like amsterdam needs a .env existing before launching it or it explodes:

After doing a touch .env it launch fine.

Also the amsterdam (no arg) help is missing a newline at the end.

nicer errors

especially file not found or no file provided

Allow to import articles/pages/comments from Wordpress export

I know that is a long shot and really low priority, but it would be wonderful if Plume could import a Wordpress export in the future.

The format of Wordpress export is WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR). You can find some documentation on https://github.com/pbiron/wxr/.

Support Emacs org markup language

I do agree that this is not a priority issue, and I don't know if you should really implement it; I mean, markdown is definitely the big player in the markup language league, while org(-mode? I never know what is the official name) is less known. I don't know if there is mature implementation of org parser in Rust. I know pandoc does support org, but it would give you an additional dependency to manage.

Anyway, I am considering using a Plume instance to publish my articles in the long run, but most of them are written using this strange markup language of Emacs called org.

Do you consider supporting additional markup languages, and more specifically org, in the future? If so, I would really be interested :) And I can even try to help.
