add script to check browse.json created-date. #132

Open birkin opened 1 year ago

In the past year, the auto-creation of the browse.json data stopped working twice. Once it was because the code encountered unexpected data. And recently it was because of a change to the structure of the python virtual-environment.

Our goal as maintainers of the project is to be notified of issues before users experience them. Given that, a script that simply loads the browse.json data and checks that the "meta" -> "date_produced" isn't older than one day -- and if it is, notifies us -- should ensure that if something were to happen again, we'd catch it promptly.

This could be super-simple -- maybe even done using a shell script. Is there a way to send an email or message from the terminal, i wonder?
