I need to practice my writing, especially in English. What's the best place to blog about science, sci-fi/fantasy and programming? Something simple and light?

Jekyll and github pages?

@jeanmanguy I would also browse Reddit, such as /r/programming, /r/bioinformatics /r/EverythingScience etc

@Areya I like to read Reddit but never wrote, I never really liked forums. Plus I wouldn't have control over what I write.

@ashkumar @Areya I used to blog using Medium, but never really liked it. I love my markdown files :3

@grahampressey @jeanmanguy

I'm all for it. I mostly do any random memos and basic word processing directly in md.

Might I plug stackedit.io/ here as a fantastic online experience for editing markdown right in your browser.

@grahampressey @ashkumar @Areya that's my plan for when I will write science-ish article to output rmarkdown to markdown (I think there is package that does that already)

@jeanmanguy that's true. Well from my first impression, your English is pretty good!

@Areya Thank you :) I can toot without many problems, I need to practice to write longer and more complex texts, for future research articles and my thesis.

@jeanmanguy I like Cryogen cryogenweb.org/ by @lacarmen it's nice and simple, and works with github pages :)

@lacarmen @yogthos looks nice, I will give it a try. I looked at the code, first time I see Clojure 😐

@jeanmanguy
ça ne répond pas vraiment à ta question (à moitié en fait)
mais connais tu Lang8.
c'est un endroit où l'on peut poster des textes et corriger les textes de ceux qui écrivent dans ta langue maternelle.
donc si tu as besoin de correction sur tes textes c'est bien.
mais tu écris probablement trop bien pour ça.
(et Les gens ne s'intéressent pas tellement au contenu mais ils corrigent bien)
