Blog writing tools for developer focussed blog?


I m working on a product that will be geared towards developers and I want to write articles and blog posts where I could easily embed code snippets etc with syntax highlighting. Any tools that are built for this ? Markdown support huge plus.

I just made one recently. a minimalist markdown blogging by a single html. very handy to host on github-page, and edit post by github markdown editor.

syntax highlight is also supported as using casual-markdown.js

I’m experimenting with using Hugo (and a few shell scripts) to automatically publish notes tagged as “public” from my personal Obsidian notes repo to a website: https://all64bits.com.

It’s Markdown based, handles syntax highlighting etc and seems promising. I’m using the “Papermod” theme for Hugo

I use Zola [0] to generate static site from markdown and host it via GitHub pages.

Write.as is a lightweight, minimalist blogging platform well suited to technical writing as it supports Markdown (including syntax highlighting and tables) and MathJax.
