Developer builds a tiny BBS entirely in Bash

Original: - : Say hello to BashBBS! : - Is this just stupid? I've made a really small BBS using just Bash and whatever a bare-bone

A developer has created BashBBS, a small bulletin board system built using only Bash scripts and the tools included with a bare-bones Debian install. It runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and the maker is inviting others to try it by filling out a request form, approving access manually. They are asking openly whether the project is 'stupid', a self-deprecating nod to hobbyist retro-computing.

Why now: Nostalgia for retro BBS systems and admiration for extreme minimalism make hobbyist projects like this fun to share.
