I forked the repo, followed the setup instructions and now what? There's a "writers guide" that claims it will help me write my first post, but it is just an overview of the AsciiDoc format, and tells you nothing about how to save new posts to your blog.

Great idea to leverage GitHub pages! Not sure if this has been done before but this is certainly a lucrative SaaS opportunity due to the non-existent marginal cost of creating a GitHub site. -- IF OP is the author (or the author sees this) Couple of nitpicks about your landing page: - Syntax / typo: "no server's rent" --> "no server costs to pay" or similar - Please do your visitors a favour and add controls to your…

Agreed about the youtube video. It is a bit frustrating not to be able to move forward, especially because the typing speed is quite slow :D A few blog examples made with hubpress on the landing page would be great too.
Thank you for the suggestion about adding blog example ;)

Agreed. Workaround: Click video for focus, either click again or press space to play. Use left/right arrow keys for 5s jumps, to adjust speed. I use these commands about every 30 minutes.
HubPress app.js can do what it pleases with my github password, am I right? And I couldn't find non-minified sources easily. P.S. found sources at dev.hubpress.io on another branch
Each commit build the minified version on the branch master and gh-pages. If you want to see how work authentication, you can also have a look to the repository hubpress-plugin-github
Genuine question: Is there any attraction of this tool for folks who already know how to use a static site generator (SSG)? I'm guessing most people who understand how to use git could catch onto an SSG overnight. (I should add that this is an impressive concept and I'm just begging for a reason to use it).
Whether or not you use an SSG, I find the biggest hurdle is getting/making a good theme for your blog. It looks like this comes theme-included, which is actually a pretty big deal if you want to get up and running fast.
As Ghost is MIT, my idea was to use the same engine, so it's easy to build a new theme or add an existing ghost theme in HubPress
I really like the idea, it looks like an easy way to get a simple blog started. Looks great as well! I do have one concern: I'm assuming that the repo driving the blog is public, which means that all unpublished posts are still visible on Github, right?
Obviously, you need a paid GitHub subscription to do this, but it is possible (with relatively low cost).
Are we aware of any efforts to decentralize git so that blogs made with it can't be silenced at one point of failure?
If you don't want to depend on GitHub, there's nothing stopping you. I host my site on a VPS and couldn't be happier.
