Title: 00&#x27;s called, they want their RSS feeds back.<p>I was looking at my growing Github gist collection when a sudden urge to blog and make a name for myself &quot;by not programming&quot; struck. Part way into implementing my oh so special static website generator it occurred to me that, quite frankly, Github gists is a pretty decent publishing platform. I mean, it gives you reasonably extended markdown with previews, heck I could even write in org-mode, has comments, follower - followee relationship, extended search with filters, check out locally and push your edits. Did someone say &quot;edit button&quot;?<p>Thus the idea behind <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.ht" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.ht</a> was born: collect gists into RSS feeds and force everyone, kicking and screaming, into the good old days when Google Reader was king. Well, it&#x27;s a bit more than that now. But basically, you create a gist or grab an old one, name its main file `hoot.md` or `hoot.org` if org-mode is your poison, make it public and voila. These &quot;hoots&quot; make it into your RSS feed and will get permalinks with social graph metatags, so you get nice previews when you share them on Twitter and such.<p>To take it for a spin:
- pick a subdomain e.g. foo.git.ht,
- navigate you browser there,
- login with Github.<p>I still consider it alpha, but it should work. Report any issues as you would normally on Github <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fullmeta-dev&#x2F;githoot-public">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fullmeta-dev&#x2F;githoot-public</a>.<p>Thank you
