Automatically fill HackMD notes with template

[RichardLitt]

The bot should automatically fill HackMD.io notepads with a template. Unfortunately, I do not think this is currently possible.

Tracking in RichardLitt/generate-hackmd-links#1.

@flyingzumwalt I do not think that this is currently possible, looking at the HTML for HackMD, that it is using CodeMirror and may need to add APIs for us to do this (generate-hackmd-link is currently a hack, too, using their '/new' redirect function), and that it would be a huge amount of overhead to get working. For now, I am going to ping myself and remind myself to add the content manually.

I've got a working solution for this using websockets to hackmd.io. I don't advertise it as the most resilient solution but it works. Could be enough to bridge us to using peerpad.

@pmthomps If you want to be a co-maintainer of the npm generate-hackmd-links package, we could add it there, too?

[pmthomps]

@RichardLitt Cool. I'd be up for that. Thanks!

[RichardLitt]

Cool. Open a PR to it, and we can go from there.

We've replaced our usage with cryptpad instead of hackmd, and current sprint-helper fills out the pad already.
