We chose to go with Medium (https://levelup.gitconnected.com), and it has been great. It embeds gists which is good for code. I haven't experimented with custom JS/CSS, but I believe it's also possible to embed. It's not perfect, but it's really good in most areas.

One of the best things about Medium is the built-in network and community. I feel confident our technical publication would not have grown as quickly without it. One of my favorite features is the ability to co-publish articles in publications but also retain the authorship of it on your own profile. It's an excellent way to generate traffic to your posts and take advantage of publications that already have readers. If you're interested in giving Medium a try and would be interested in submitting some stories to https://levelup.gitconnected.com, we would be happy to help get you started!

Sorry, I'm only familiar with the "one author, one blog" format... so, at the risk of sounding dumb, what exactly is levelup.gitconnected.com? I see it's an aggregation of articles from different authors, hosted on medium... Do you act as the 'editor' for a group of regular contributers, do you go out cherry pick articles from medium at large, is it automatically generated somehow from a pool of articles, or ...? EDIT: n/m, I found faq on publications!

So it's a combination of people in our community submitting articles and us seeking out writers. Many of our contributors are people who write really great content but aren't attracting a ton of views, and it is a really good relationship for both us. I'm happy to connect outside of HN if you're interested in learning more.
