Request to automate the update_readme

[romain-dartigues]

Rationale

It is counterproductive to run update_readme, and tracking in the repository files going to conflict on the next PR (CHECK.html, README.md, REFERENCE.md).

How would you feel automating the process?

A possible workflow could be something like:

user submit Pull Request   <------------\
|                                       |
`-- GitHub: tests ---|fail, try again|--/
    |
 success!
    |
    `-- Project administrator merge
        |
        `-- GitHub: build, publish

The Build process would:

1. generate websites pages (ie: "What's Available so far?", "Reference Images")
2. generate libraries¹

Nice to have:

• stats on the "website"
• RSS for new icons

If you are interested, I made a minimal proof of concept on:
https://github.com/romain-dartigues/SuperTinyIcons/tree/github-pages
automatically publishing the website at:
https://romain-dartigues.github.io/SuperTinyIcons/index.html

It's quite ugly for now, I'm confident you'll be able to give it a better look :^)

Footnotes

1. I would like to generate Draw.io icons libraries, texture atlas a.k.a. spritesheet, downloadable archive…
   I will open issue and provide PR on this topic later if you show some interest. ↩
