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 @jeanmanguy How about medium.com?
@ashkumar @jeanmanguy also a fan
@Areya @jeanmanguy Medium uses Markdown as well AFAIK
@jeanmanguy On second thought, if you specifically just want to improve your writing rapidly and you don't mind native speakers helping you out by correcting you, you could try blogging on lang8.
How could anyone not like nice, clean rmarkdown output?
I'm all for it. I mostly do any random memos and basic word processing directly in md.
Might I plug http://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.
@Areya I like to read Reddit but never wrote, I never really liked forums. Plus I wouldn't have control over what I write.
