I got it working, thanks! I think I found a minor bug though. I could only get the --template flag to work when the file is in the current working directory. Subdirectories and absolute directories didn't work. I worked around this by simply cding into where my template was stored before running tinyfeed.

Uncle Paul's flying back to Florida tomorrow morning!
I've recently gotten really into HelixNotes, which I sync to my phone via Syncthing. And the developer is on Lemmy. They've been pushing a lot of updates so I'm excited to see where it goes.
