title: why text files?

why i've decided to use text files for the posts on this site:

1. it's easier, and i'm more likely to update if it doesn't take much work

2. i like minimalism, and have always liked the idea of doing a lot with a little

3. weird hipster reasons; i just had to be different (lol)


i took inspiration from minim's blog [ https://minim.blog ], and this comment on HN [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42998131 ] (and probably other stuff i've forgotten about [0]).
