rowjobs
This script generates a static homepage (index.html) using the provided template.
It reads job metadata from a JSON index file (jobs_index.json) in the job directory,
selects 20 jobs, and renders them into the homepage template using Jinja2.
The homepage includes a client-side search that updates the URL with a "search" query parameter.
Usage:
python generate_homepage.py --jobs_dir /path/to/job --output_dir /path/to/output
