Morning nullers! Don't forget to check out my new RFC and share your thoughts! https://github.com/dev-null-sh/dev-null.sh/issues/1363

GitHub[RFC] Gists · Issue #1363 · dev-null-sh/dev-null.shWe're proposing gists: long-form posts on /dev/null, written by developers and organizations. They build on organization commits (#938), so we'll only start work once that stack has shipped. Why? L...

wouldn't be better "discoverability" to be able to create gists (not a timeline for them), but after you can post them here? i really would love to avoid another timeline just for gists

What would that look like? I'm not sure I'd want to mix up Gists and Commits in the same feed, I'd definitely separate them. Gists shouldn't have anything to do with the rest of the Log where the Commits are in my opinion. Commits are simple, usually short, random thoughts, whereas Gists are long form blog posts in a place where you can always find them. They are (technically speaking) only linked to Commits in the RFC so we don't have to invent a separate posting mechanism if you want to share your Gists. It'd be something like:

Hey guys, I've made a cool writeup about a new PHP vulnerability, and how you can patch it for yourself <clickable Gist title and 2-3 lines of the body appears here>

So basically a short introduction to what the reader should expect.
