Building a Blog Platform with Docker #4: Dynamic Routes and a Real Post List

Short summary

Build dynamic routes that automatically discover markdown posts instead of hardcoding them. Add SEO meta descriptions from post frontmatter to improve search visibility. Create an automated scanner that lists all posts on the homepage—drop a new .md file into content/posts/, refresh, and it appears instantly without requiring any code changes.

• •Replace hardcoded routes with dynamic /<year>/<month>/<slug> pattern using Flask
• •Scan content/posts/ directory to auto-discover and sort posts by date
• •Add description frontmatter field for SEO meta tags and homepage excerpts
