       Description: 
       
       The software developer prx, his website is available at
       [https://ybad.name/ (en/fr)](https://ybad.name/),
       released a new software called **prose** to publish a blog by sending
       emails.
       
       I really like this idea, while this doesn't suit my needs at all,
       I wanted to write about it.
       
       The code can be downloaded from this address
       https://dev.ybad.name/prose/ .
       
       I will briefly introduce how it works but the README file is well
       explaining,
       prose must be started from the mail server, upon email receival in
       `/etc/mail/aliases` the email will be piped into prose which will
       produce the
       html output.
       
       On the security side, **prose** doesn't use any external command and on
       OpenBSD
       it will use unveil and pledge features to reduce privileges of
       **prose**,
       unveil will restrict the process file system accesses outside of the
       html
       output directory.
       
       I would also congrats prx who demonstrates again that writing good
       software
       isn't exclusive to IT professionnal.
