I am taking notes from the field in a form of blog posts. These might be beneficial to others.
I was tired of messing up with Wordpress and Jekyll. This is the outcome.
My initial requirements were:
- Simple CMS - I want to login somewhere and catch my idea immediately. Aka WordPress. No jekyll, git etc.
- Managed - I always gravitate to managed solutions. No single thing to manage. No WordPress servers, S3 buckets etc.
- Free - I don't necessarily need to pay for hosting a couple of technical notes
- Graphical way to see my posts - I am more comfortable with that feedback
I've figured out that I can just create bunch of markdown files directly on GitHub, thus using it as my CMS. Anywhere, anytime, it's managed, free, I can make countless edits to my posts if neccessary, I have preview before I commit. And as a bonus, markdown files can be easily handed over to another system.
I don't need any structure because posts can be referred from Google. Nobody really reads blogs today. I may put just a list of links here.
