Modern day journalism sucks for everybody. Even tech news is so full of short pointless articles you don't know what to read or you have too much to read through. I don't know about any other blogging service that is tailored for devs. Coding is a unique thing. It has its own needs and Gitpress looks like the best solution so far with many useful features like syncing with your GitHub which should save some time while making sure there are no errors hap pinging while copy/paste.
Awesome Hunt!!
