I often pop into my blog from neovim with the intent to look at just a
single series of posts, `til`, `gratitude`, or just see todays posts.
[Markata](https://markata.dev/) has a great way of mapping over posts
and returning their path that is designe exactly for this use case.

To tie these into a Telescope picker you add the command as the
find_command, and comma separate the words of the command, with no
spaces. I did also `--sort,date,--reverse` in there so that the newest
posts are closest to the cursor.

``` python
nnoremap geit Telescope find_files find_command=markata,list,--map,path,--filter,date==today
nnoremap geil Telescope find_files find_command=markata,list,--map,path,--filter,templateKey=='til',--sort,date,--reverse
nnoremap geig Telescope find_files find_command=markata,list,--map,path,--filter,templateKey=='gratitude',--sort,date,--reverse
```

> NOTE telescope treates each word as a string, do not wrap an extra
> layer of quotes around your words, it gets messy.
