One lesson learned from leading https://web.dev https://web.dev is that a lot of people, even technical ones, aren't comfortable with git + Markdown. And then there are people who are comfortable with it but feel that it's too much friction for simple docs updates.
- dotancohen 5y agoFor those who are uncomfortable with Git: My personal git notes repo has this script right there in the document root: $ cat ~/Notes/sync.sh #!/usr/bin/env bash git add * git commit -am "$(hostname)" git pull git push echo '' git status That's good for 99% of my own use - and I'm a technical user. You can leave those last two lines off and redirect stdout to /dev/null. If there's an error on "sync" the user can call you over to handle what will likely be either a merge conflict or a network issue. Even for Windows users you can probably wrap that in a .bat file to be double-clicked on the desktop. And there are a ton of WYSIWYG Markdown editors. I've used Typora in the past.
