digest-it v0.2.671

Digest It - Automation for CI/CD and Content Management

Digest It is an NPM module that integrates custom pipelines, content automation, and support for tools like GitHub Actions, Netlify, and ChatGPT.

In a traditional pipeline process, data flows from one phase to another in a linear, predefined manner. However, what sets our approach apart is dynamic customization.

Instead of following a rigid, fixed-conveyor belt flow, we offer the ability to choose events, tasks, or processes to be applied at each phase, allowing the developer or user to customize their data journey based on their needs at the time.

• RSS and Atom Generation: Automatic creation of feeds to facilitate content distribution.
• Meta Tags and JSON-LD Schema Generation: SEO optimization with structured metadata.
• Sitemap Generation and Visualization: Facilitates crawling by search engines.
• Public File Synchronization: Ensures the latest files are available.
• Script and Image Optimization: Enhances site performance.
• Advanced Integrations: Includes Cloudinary, Google Analytics, Netlify, and more.
