Week-3

Split methods previously part of anna package among parser, engine and helpers packages
Refactored main.go to only handle flags
Wrote unit and integration tests for the parser and engine package
Split the rendering system to make parallelisation easier by switching to a three method system.
- Render "anna specific" pages such as sitemap and feed
- Render "user defined" pages which include all markdown files and posts (This method has been parallelised)
- Render tags and tag-subpages separately, which could be parallelised in the future
Wrote a benchmark for main.go that times the entire application

Re-implemented cobra CLI for the restructed codebase.
Re-implemented Parallel rendering pipelines for redering tags and content files separately.
Improved profiling.
Refactored code to improve performance.
Worked on content indexing.

Implement content indexing and site wide content search.
Improve existing GUI:
- Add project directory browser.
- Add Theme browser.
Implement new flags to provide refined control on resource management.
- -c / --concurrency to set limit on number of goroutines.
Implement integration with hosting services to auto host project.

Implemented an interactive web based wizard to help a user bootstrap their anna site
- The intial build wrote the json blob to disk; now it passes it as a POST request to the webserver itself over port 8080 (may conflict)
- So far it lets you pick a fill metadata, pick a theme and preview your site
- It auto validates fields using regex as you proceed
- Also: an animated progressbar and other easter-eggs (confetti??)

Improve UX by dogfooding and collecting feedback from new users
Theme triaging and cataloging (basic hugo compatability)
Bootstrap site dir, if the user didn't already have one, using go-git and add basic git-submodule support for themes
Implement go best practices: (auto generate docs, tag releases and known bugs)
