Sometimes, we want to share a bit of writing that is neither. Maybe we want to write for a specific audience, but don’t want to address the people who usually read our blogs. Maybe it’s just something that doesn’t fit into 140 characters.

Gist.io is a solution for that, inspired by Mike Bostock’s delightful bl.ocks.org

Usage

• Create a gist on GitHub with a single Markdown-syntax file.
• In the URL bar, replace
• gist.github.com/youruser/abc123… with
• gist.io/@youruser/abc123….
• Enjoy your beautifully-presented writing.
