- [Free Blog Creation] I tried hosting a static site with Obsidian and GitHub Pages!

GitHub issues is almost the best notebook in the world
As others have pointed out you don't "host" Obsidian - it's just a local collection of markdown files. But if you're asking about a self-hosted alternative to "Obsidian Publish" for creating a knowledgebase that others can answer, I'm Quartz[0], a static-site generator designed to turn Obsidian markdown files into a website. I'm building and it and hosting it on Gitlab Pages at work[1].

Ditching Obsidian and building my own
I wonder if https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz was considered for this, though that project is more setup as an open source Obsidian publish replacement than a private PKMS

Ow I Blog with Obsidian, Hugo, GitHub, and Cloudflare – Zero Cost Owned
Shout out to Quartz, which produces a site similar to Obsidian Publish: https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/
(I would use Obsidian Publish, but it rendered far too slowly on some pages. I do use their excellent sync service though.)

Create a Blogging Platform With No Backend (Zero Hosting Fee)
There were many ways for doing this (thanks to redditors!). One of the best was generating static website and utilizing a CMS that allows github syncing. I went for 11ty (Eleventy) + Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS) + Netlify Identity and I was able build something like this within couple of days:

Ask HN: How do you automate file upload to GitHub?
I'm not sure if it's overkill but decapCMS [0] (formerly netlifyCMS) uses git for its publishing method to store static files and content. It's quite simple and open source, and might even just serve as good inspiration for your final solution.
