Thanks for the idea of gists-as-a-blog. I think it is cool and reduces the friction. It also means you are less likely to get start-again-itis or perfectionism!
You gave me an idea I might build in a hour (or you can)
In vanilla JS write code that fetches and reasonable formats gists. Then sitename.com/githubuser generates a SPA blog client side based on that user. Can be hosted on netlify with no maintenance forever.

An example of something like this is my HN Badges which has been hosted for almost 2 years with zero thought from me! E.g. https://hnbadges.netlify.app/?user=quickthrower2
