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?

Areya @Areya@octodon.social

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

Biomancer @jeanmanguy

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

@Areya @jeanmanguy How about medium.com?

Biomancer @jeanmanguy

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

@Areya @jeanmanguy Medium uses Markdown as well AFAIK

Biomancer @jeanmanguy

@ashkumar @Areya to format the posts yes, I think.

How could anyone not like nice, clean rmarkdown output?

@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.

Biomancer @jeanmanguy

@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)
