Welcome to my gistblog.

I wanted to create a way to write quick posts that are longer than tweets, but not as long as full-blown blog posts.

gistblog uses Github for user authentication, uses Gists as the backing store for post data, and provides a few interesting features for posts.

They can be published as:

  • public
  • private
  • restricted to only be read by other Github users I specify

This last mode is useful for only sharing a thought among friends or getting some peer-review while a post is a draft.

gistblog supports Github Flavored Markdown for formatting. You can find the current source at https://github.com/jazzychad/gistblog

Now, I leave you with a Nyan Cat gif!
