Using Gist as Blog #post
Raw
README.md

Since I researching a lot of solutions of how to create a blog, there are a lot of resources shows howto do this task,

  1. static generic html from markdown (Hugo, Jekyll...etc)
  2. build your own blog service
  3. using gist as blog engine
  4. rendering your gist in a third party website (gist.io, bl.ocks.org...etc)

I choice the third one, because I think this one is the simplest one and you just using the gist as the database, your posts never gone away and centrolized in gist only.

but you have to make a listing interface for it.

Still there has a simplest way to list your gists by searching them using specific tags like this

but I build a github page with stupid javascript to achive this goal:

https://github.com/tommady/tommady.github.io

https://blog.tommady.com

this way may faced the rate limit by github API, but I did not find any clues on the github document to describe it.

so just for a testing perpose to do it and see what's gonna be !?
