Every now and then I might find something interesting related to coding. I might spent some time doing some research, and maybe write about it in an email or in a post in a course-oriented forum. But in the end it is probably forgotten and should the need arises for me to mention my findings again, I have to do a great portion of the process again.
Recently, I thought about using GitHubGist as a blogging platform of some kind. They provide all the nice things you might be familiar with in GitHub, there is support for markdown and also for inline code snippets. They also allow for comments from other users and they can easily be embedded in a web page.
You can access the original gist url through the bottom left corner of the post.
Case in point, this post. I hope for more to follow.
