🔍What is the “Unlisted” Feature?#

The unlisted feature allows you to hide specific posts from public listings while keeping them accessible via a direct URL. This is perfect for sharing content with a limited audience without cluttering your blog’s main feed.

🛠️ How to Use It#

Simply add unlisted: true to your post’s frontmatter:

2
title: "My Secret Post"
3
published: 2026-01-18

unlisted: true

How to Access Unlisted Posts#

Unlisted posts remain accessible only via their direct URL. The URL follows the standard pattern:

https://your-site.com/posts/[your-post-slug]/

Example: If your file is unlisted-sample.md and your site is https://csrf.blog, the URL will be: https://csrf.blog/posts/unlisted-sample/

⚠️ Security Note: Unlisted ≠ Private#

This feature provides obscurity, not absolute privacy. Anyone with the direct link can still view the content. If you need to restrict access to sensitive information, please use server-level authentication (e.g., Basic Auth or middleware).

💡 Use Cases#

• Draft Reviews: Share a nearly-finished post with friends or colleagues for feedback.
• Targeted Content: Create guides or write-ups intended only for a specific group.
• Clean Feed: Prevent short notes or experimental posts from cluttering your main archive.
