INTRODUCING SHINOBI.WEBSITE

What is a shinobi website?

I have finally been blessed with enough extra free-time to launch my 
small shinobi.website "system" into the wild! My hope is that others 
take inspiration from it and even start shinobi blogs/sites of their 
own.


SHINOBI.WEBSITE EXPLAINED
-------------------------

Quoting the homepage of https://shinobi.website:

> A shinobi website is a text-based, RSS focused blogging "system"

More details about the naming decision, running the simple bash script 
and properly writing plain text blog posts can be found on the 
homepage. For this specific post I more of less want to focus on the 
initial "launch" of the product and what the future holds for this URL 
as a whole.


WHAT TO EXPECT
--------------

If you're reading this post, you have shown interest in this project. 
First off, I would like to thank you for taking the time subscribing to 
this feed or sneakily finding the direct link URL to this post. You are 
a true web shinobi.

As for articles posted here; they will cover topics about minimalism, 
open source software, writing prompts, HTML/CSS hacks and video game 
reviews. This place is an ever-evolving project, I'm not going to 
restrict myself too much by hard constraints or limited topics.

For my next set of posts, I plan to cover a more step-by-step tutorial 
on setting up your own shinobi website through Netlify (for free!). 
After that I have a couple other concepts to follow-up with:

1. A clean Sublime Text setup for writing plain text posts
2. Easy steps to de-clutter and minimize your digital life
3. Switching over from a static site generator to a shinobi website


EXCITED TO INSPIRE
------------------

I'm excited to see if this project inspires even *one* person to do the 
same. If it gets enough traction, I'll need to post a list or "club" 
somewhere for the shinobi community to show-off their work. It will be 
an interesting endeavour to watch grow and I'm looking forward to 
sharing the experience with you, dear reader!


Thanks for reading my humble blog,
