I like how Github is taking note about the lack of innovation, and doing the right thing; but I'd like to see the blog post announcements AFTER the feature is implemented. It's like saying "Oh, you're thirsty? I'm going to give you a glass of water, but not yet, next week"
This feature has interesting synergy with GitHub Pages, where .md files can simply be dragged-and-dropped into a folder to get published as a blog post on the web. It may be enough to remove the must-be-programmer-who-understands-git barrier to entry, anyways. EDIT: GitHub Pages still requires specific file naming for posts and YAML front matter, so it's not perfectly non-programmer friendly. It might be a good idea…
I keep notes on Github that never touch a filesystem. I do my edits from a phone or tablet. If I have a lot to write, I'll use an app then copy directly into Github. Most of my notes are personal but I started breaking them out a couple weeks ago so I could keep them in public repos.

Why not work directly in the version controlled cloud? Books, blogs, etc could be managed this way. No proprietary formats, no backups to worry about, and you aren't going to lose it if someone steals your device:

You mean .org files, right? :-) I keep notes on Github that never touch a filesystem. I do my edits from a phone or tablet. If I have a lot to write, I'll use an app then copy directly into Github.

So the .md is technically more correct. But really the extension doesn't matter much...

Specifically, my method involves using drag-and-drop .md files for the Jekyll workflow.
Hmm, it almost seems like the recent brouhaha lit a fire under GitHub...
I've always been impressed with how often they release new features, it actually seems like a weekly thing for GitHub. I don't think that the events of the past two weeks accelerated that process at all.
Prior to the repository redesign, they released Git LFS and the Integrations Directory on October 1. So they had a full month and a half between feature releases not attributable to the holidays.
I definitely appreciate the work they've done in the past few months, but I also think it's disingenuous to say that the last month didn't cause them to double down on developing new features.

I was thinking the same thing. It is good to see GitHub get new features, hopefully the competitors do as well. As long as we don't end up with another SourceForge at any point, one is enough.
You can see [the Changelog](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/CHANGELO...) for more information.

I think you are just writing markdown in .org files ^^ So the .md is technically more correct. But really the extension doesn't matter much...
For example, `markdown inline code` vs ~org-mode inline code~, and
```
markdown code blocks
```
#+begin_src
org-mode code blocks
#+end_src
