Add a feature to create unpublished posts

[Sh1Yo]

First of all, thanks for the great theme. I've been searching for this feature, but it looks like it's impossible to create an unpublished/draft post that can only be accessible using url and cannot be seen in the main list.

@Sh1Yo Would you mind explaining a use case for this feature?

A few things immediately come to mind:

• seeing the result without exposing an article to the internet.
• sharing an article in private before publishing or just an article that is supposed to be for a small circle of people.

@Sh1Yo Thanks for your clarification.

In response to your first bullet point, I would advise using the draft=true option in the frontmatter, which helps to avoid publishing unfinished blog post. When running your hugo server locally, you will still be able to see how the site renders.

In terms of your second bullet point: Even in the current theme you can add a new content folder and place your items in there. These won't be listed on the main page but you can still access them via their URL. Please note that if you go for this solution everyone with knowledge of the domain will be able to access your article. You should then also block it in your robots.txt

The setup:

The matching blog post can still be accessed via the URL http://localhost:1313/.

Hope that helps - Going to close this request for now.
