If this interests you should check out gist.io as well as an alternative. Slightly different concept, but still equally interesting. http://gist.io/ source: https://github.com/idan/gistio

njr123·Aug 24, 2012

What happens more often to me, is that the pull request gets ignored. The gist.io [1] repository itself is a perfect example of this. 5 open pull requests, most of them now more than a month old have been completely ignored. https://github.com/idan/gistio/pulls

Author here. Generally, if you have features you want, file 'em here: https://github.com/idan/gistio/issues Stuff I'd like to do given the time: * Add RestructuredText support * Add a sign-in-with-github option, and turn this into a minimalist blogging platform. Comments (gist comments), index page (showing any gists of yours that have been gist.io'd), authoring (I like writing in IA writer, maybe an experience similar to that, but with auto-saving.) * Maybe some kind of means for controlling cache (right now gists are cached for one minute).
