The idea of SimpleBlog is creating a very simple home page and blog using a rails application and markdown files. This way it is super easy to write your posts using markdown on GitHub without even running the project locally, but also customize your blog easily with your Ruby on Rails knowledge.
The intention of this gem is just to share the work I've done for my blog and allow other people to use the same if they want.
