A few years back in internet history, there was a great informational website about South Sudan located at aboutsouthsudan.com, which we linked to from In Deed And Truth’s website. I was checking outbound links on their site earlier this year and I noticed that the site had been taken down and the domain was for sale; so I scooped up the domain and decided to launch my own version at the same URL.
I’ve got a lot of ideas about what this website could be, but for today, I’ve launched a minimal version that includes a basic history of the country, a feed of news articles, and links to books to read to learn more. Go check out the site or look at the source code on GitHub (it’s built on Jekyll).
