I've been working on an obtvse fork that uses github gists as its backend. However, looking at this, I'm thinking of possibly just shifting to a jekyll-like repository base structure, instead of the complex gist+json based stuff I was using.

Thanks for the github.js. I'll try to add gists related stuff to it.

Btw,it didn't work on my iPad. Got to the repo choosing screen,but it gets stuck after I choose a branch, or even if it autoselects master.

We'll do some optimizations for iPad if we get time. However, this would be a great piece for getting involved. One blocker I see is that CodeMirror does not work well with iPad touch events yet.
I created a Svbtle/Obtvse clone (in terms of styling) that uses Jekyll Bootstrap if you are interested (https://github.com/joehand/joehand.github.com). I took some liberties in terms of functionality to suit my needs.

Definitely love using Prose.io with it. It has made my writing process much simpler.
