# A little Ruby script to download your Drip broadcast messages to Jekyll-ready
# Markdown files. These could be used as posts or, better yet, as a collection.

#  - drip-ruby
#  - slugify
#  - reverse_markdown
#
# The _drain.yml file should include 3 key, value pairs:
#
# account_id: the ID of your Drip account
# api_key: your API key for accessing the Drip API
# directory: the directory where you'll include all of your new files

# TODO: make broadcast status from env/arg
# TODO: filter braodcasts based on groups
