Is it a thing to blog with github issues now?

• Everlag 11y ago
  In theory blogging on github issues could actually be quite convenient. - Great(==standardized) markdown support. - Easy image support. - Uptime is someone else's problem. - Sending someone your blog also directly links them to your ~entire public codebase. - Builtin sane commenting system. - Can keep code beside the blog. Its aggravating to find a living blog that links to a dead code host. - Free with zero setup cost for everything above. - Not having to deal with ruby dependencies for jekyll... Edit: You know, I think I'm going to host my blog in this manner. When writing the above list I realized I'm sick of having to handle each of those.

    All of that works with hosting md files in github repo or in gists, but with them you also get a convenient version control system also known as git.

      Even the wiki is a git repo, though there's no built in search like there is for repositories and issues.
