Journal: A Personal Publishing Platform

Journal. \ˈjər-nəl\ Noun. Definition: chronicle, account, narrative, life.

Journal is a markdown-focused blogging platform. It keeps all the markdown for all you posts and generates static files to serve them as html.

It's small, simple, and fast!

Isn't it mysterious to begin a new journal like this? I can run my fingers through the fresh clean pages but I cannot guess what the writing on them will be. ― Maud Hart Lovelace
