I'm trying to give my students the simplest process to make a blog in 2021. Fastest way go without setting up a static site generator or wordpress.

One test right now is a repo as blog. Obviously as-is with markdown, or you can add config file and it will render as a website without the other jekyll stuff. For example, as a test I made this blog in a repo:

leetusman.com/algoraves/

i'm writing with a frontend GUI by going to prose.io and signing into my github

any other options? I looked as write.as but didn't see images allowed. bear.app is mac-only. tumblr is ...outdated, but great. zonelets is cool but extra steps.

i suppose i could teach pandoc. another option is strapdown pages in a repo. strapdownjs.com/

i think my solution may be the most elegant though? just write markdown in a repo, click to turn into a github pages and choose theme. use prose.io for a frontend. profit.

@exquisitecorp I think your solution is a good one.
