Chris Amico - For parsing front matter from Markdown file

I've been meaning to take a look at https://github.com/rochacbruno/dynaconf lately. Seems really great, can even load values dynamically from external sources. Seems like the next evolution in configuration IMO ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've recently learnt sops and for Django have combined that with dynaconf although it should work fine with any python.
