Did you know you can use Gists for:
Publishing your Markdown-based writing with gist.io?
Sure, gists already display rendered Markdown, but it’s got all that noisy UI around it that drowns the content. Gist.io renders your gists beautifully.
Render HTML demos with bl.ocks.org?
Showcase your working CSS/JS example along with syntax-highlighted code needed to make it happen.
Showing browser-based presentations with GistDeck?
Turns simple Markdown syntax into a slide deck. Indistinguishable from magic.
Unrelated to the services above, here’s a pick of some of my recent gists that might be interesting:
- my zsh prompt
rbshell function that makes rbenv easier- tiny GeoIP service class for Ruby
- catch misspelled “initialize” method names in Ruby
- the good, bad, and the ugly of short URL resolving
- stupid simple pure-ruby JSON parser & generator
- shortest “hello {NAME}” Ruby server examples: Sinatra, pure Rack, pure WEBrick, pure Ruby
