thinking about making git blogging viewer that will just pull markdown files from github blog repos and render them nicely for viewers. would anyone use it?

i imagine people would just commit markdown files to a repo, and then people could view them like a blog and follow a bunch of blogs (repo) on their phone or desktop. i’ll add support for jekyll and other markdown html generators too.

question

app idea

    to rephrase better because wow that was bad: i saw someone blog just by committing markdown files to a git repo. i thought that’s a great idea, and i thought a mobile/desktop client where people could follow the blogs/repos would be nice. maybe it would even catch on.

    Setup a static site generator and use something like netlify to auromatically deploy the blog. As for comments you voild use something like utterances or discourse or self host something on a cloud provider like commento

    @Sony-wf-1000xm3 no, i don’t want to start a blog. i want to create a way of blogging where people just commit markdown files to a repo, and then create a client to just read the markdown from the repo

    What you're trying to create, already exist: cf. Any Git-based CMS and *JAM stack*.
    I mean, feel free to create one (which would be a good learning opportunity).
