Hexo: Improved `render_drafts` behaviour

[clkao]

Currently when render_drafts is defined, drafts are simply rendered as regular posts.

Perhaps we can render the permalink of the draft, but not include the post in any other index or archive pages. In this case you can share the link to the draft for others to review before actually publishing it. There can also be some custom css class showing the post is actually still in draft.

How about put them in specific directory and render them as pages?

+1 for specific dir
Just made this question in StackOverflow

I couldn’t agree more with this idea! Asking others to review a post draft is definitely a common practice – and I don’t think any blogger wants their draft posts to appear on public listings. IMO what @clkao suggests is the most reasonable behavior for drafts.

To be honest, this seems like a viable workaround but not a proper solution to me.
