I don't think GitHub is planning to nor should compete in that market. The Jekyll/blog hosting stuff has been a neat side effect and I am glad that GitHub hasn't gone out of their way to prevent that type of use but I'm sure they have no desire to be a blog engine.
- bcardarella 15y agoI'm not advocating that GitHub should compete in the blog space. This is more of a convenience request for the sake of making the most out of GitHub Pages.
- nknight 15y agoIf I'm understanding correctly, the request may be in the context of blog-like usage, but the function is of much more general applicability. I think he's just asking for the ability to create a new file from scratch in github's web interface.
- nosequel 15y agoIf they have the talent, time, and funds (they have all three btw), why shouldn't they? The might have not a lot of competition right now, but that will change in the future I'm sure. Any competitive advantage is a plus IMHO. As a developer who uses github everyday, I love that I can use my normal workflow to post to a blog if I so wish.
