What makes me feel old is seeing people using github as a blog :/
I know this is off-topic, but isn't there a way to just link to the content? When I click on this, I can see a screen full of random bits and pieces which are completely irrelevant, then just at the bottom of the page, I can see one line of the post...
Guess I'm just getting old also...
- raganwald 18y agoGood question. There's probably a way to link directly to github's representation of the post, in which case you can read it in markdown syntax rather than look at the fancy formatting. TBH, what I like about how much github sucks as a blogging platform is that it discourages words and encourages code. There is a "pages" feature that publishes things as HTML pages with templates using Jekyl, but that is a slippery slope. I know this doesn't solve your problem, but keeping it raw and nerdy encourages me to maintain a certain words-to-LOC ratio. Sorry about that!
- defunkt 18y agoWhat if there was a "chrome"-less view for Markdown files? Just a quick Firebug mockup: http://skitch.com/defunkt/bb6p7 http://skitch.com/defunkt/bb6p7 Btw, the raw is pretty readable: http://github.com/raganwald/homoiconic/raw/master/2009-01-21/old.md http://github.com/raganwald/homoiconic/raw/master/2009-01-21...
- thamer 18y agoThere's probably a way to link directly to github's representation of the post I don't know about that, but there is a way to pre-scroll the page to the content, so that the top metadata blocks are hidden: Just add #readme to the URL, as such: http://github.com/raganwald/homoiconic/blob/master/2009-01-21/old.md#readme http://github.com/raganwald/homoiconic/blob/master/2009-01-2...
