This is a huge factor for me. The best blogging/knowledge share/writing tools are the ones that have minimal overhead.

With Jekyll, you just have your site in a `<username>.github.io` repository, and it automatically publishes your site for you. So, the process is: write in markdown, commit, push, and then GitHub does the rest.

Yep, I know. But honestly I find all the jekyll themes pretty ugly

You could keep the source files in GitHub and use their web editor to add or update content, then build and push to the publishing server via a GitHub action.

You can find descriptions of such a setup by googling.

I have looked into this before, but it honestly just seemed very esoteric and complex. I'm surprised that Github doesn't provide pre-made "recipes" for this stuff.
