-Crosspost.sh is a shellscript(BASH) to automate crossposting to platforms like dev.to, medium.com and hashnode.com.

You would require a token/key for each of those platforms to post it from the command line.

+There are two versions of the script:

+- [Shellscript](#crossposter-shell-script) (BASH)
+- [Python](#crossposter-python-script)
 
 The actual script is still not perfect (has a few bugs). Though it posts on `dev.to` and `medium.com` easily, the `hashnode.com` is buggy as it parses the raw markdown into the post and doesn't render as desired.

 This is not a perfect script and has a lot of bugs due to encoding the markdown in BASH. It is subject to improve over time as I get to understand more string manipulation in BASH and render the post as expected. Please feel free to open up a genuine and smallest of issues. 
 
+## Crossposter Python Script
+
+A python version of the Crossposter script is in development, it currently supports posting on [dev.to](https://github.com/Mr-Destructive/crossposter/blob/main/python/dev.py) and [codenewbie community](https://github.com/Mr-Destructive/crossposter/blob/main/python/codenewbie.py). Support for hashnode and medium is in pipeline and will be updated soon.

+- Make sure to copy the copy the python folder from the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/Mr-Destructive/crossposter/tree/main/python).
+- Create the markdown file in that directory and enter the front-matter in the file.
+- Run the main `app.py` file along with the name of the markdown file as follows to proceed ahead.
+
+```
+python app.py file_name

+Currently, the front matter should be manually inserted in the markdown file, though the input prompt for the same will be featured.
