Ask HN: Why are people publishing FAQs/articles on Medium instead of Gist?
I use Obsidian and want to incorporate it in with my Gist usage. Found this which might be helpful: https://github.com/defunkt/gist
P.S. My biggest peeve with Gist is the missing dark mode :(. Otherwise, I find that the ability to use Markdown and embedded images in my gist's actually covers most of my documenting/blogging use case. Obsidian will hopefully address the dark mode issue.

Also pair this with CtrlFrything. Let's you Ctrl+F in a folder, and you can even enable the hijacking of Win+S so the global hotkey opens Everything instead of Windows search.

Charms Bar Port: a new program I made to replicate Windows 8.x charms bar for Windows 10/11. Any suggestions?
Already use it ;) Everything with search on Windows should redirect to Everything; I even put together a script to replace Ctrl+F in Windows Explorer with "Search current folder with Everything"
