Absolutely love Jekyll and GitHub Pages for hosting project documentation and personal websites. Just wish GH Pages would support SSL. :(
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can always add CloudFlare in front of it. They also provide free SSL certificates.
That's.. not the same.
Slightly off topic but is RoR still the web framework of choice for developers? Could be just me but it seems most unicorns still continue to use it, even with all of the Python/Node/PHP frameworks out there.

In the beginning was RUNOFF from MIT, which originally had about the power of Markdown. More features were added, and it became nroff, then troff, the ditrofff, and macro systems were added on top of it. It became too hard to use for casual work.
Then there was TeX, which was a saner approach to what troff did. Macro systems were added on top of it. It became too hard to use for casual work.
Then there was HTML, which started out with about the power of Markdown. More features were added. It became too hard to use for casual work.
Then there was BBcode, which started out with about the power of original HTML. It didn't gain many features, and is still widely used.
Then there was Markdown, which started out with about the power of original HTML. More features were added. Macros have been added by at least five people, but haven't quite gone mainstream yet. When Markdown gets macros, it, too, will be too hard to use for casual work.
Next!
Hmm, I hate to be a downer but this is a bit of a disappointing announcement for a major upgrade - basically, one very minor addition and a bunch of features removed - not that they were needed/widely used, but there's nothing else to show for it. Am I missing something? Also it's a bit unfortunate there's still no easy way to do site translation in Jekyll. Anyway, well done on the upgrade. Love jekyll.
Correct, nothing really mind blowing if you have all of it already set up and a relatively small Jekyll site, but big news for new users (especially on Windows where the native libraries and multi-language support have been bigger hurdles) and for people with large sites both in locally developing and debugging them and also in Github deployment times.

Jekyll 3 is pretty great. If you need any help getting your site hosted, I'm working on a hosting setup that is way easier than S3 or any other option out there. http://www.statichosting.co We are in private beta and are looking for people to try it out and give us feedback. We think it's great and are looking for early adopters who want an awesome static hosting experience.
