    Jekyll is great for people who aren't intimidated by editing HTML, CSS, and Markdown files, people who are on a shoestring budget, and people who want a blazing fast website. Jekyll may not be the best option for people who aren't interested in editing their websites in a text file and would rather have a WordPress-esque back-end from the beginning.

    Quora
    Quora Blogs is well suited to reach your ideal customer set and the interaction is lot more social than many other platforms. There are no bounds for expressing one's thoughts and ideas. A well directed communication is made and conversations are top notch. What I feel is that there should be a good enough reach for more customers.

    Quora
    • Deep knowledge is not on Quora Blogs. One gets the overview only.
    • It is not a single specialized source. If tech, one would follow Stack Overflow instead of Quora Blogs.
    • Old posts are still circulated currently, which should be modified.

    Quora
    Quora has an amazing community that gives you the support you need if you are actively contributing in a helpful way. Content is short and concise and gets right to the matter at hand. My team has found it useful in showing up as an expert in our industry by answering the questions that are being asked out there.

    Jekyll is integrated into GitHub Pages, which made it an easy choice. Using Jekyll was also easier as there's not really a server or a database to configure and you can just get things started from day one. Running and verifying content changes locally for developers is super efficient as Jekyll runs locally, too.

    Quora
    In comparison to Blogger, Quora Blogs has its perks. However, I think for any serious blogging I would find myself going elsewhere just for the added features that seem to be missing from Quora such as widgets and advanced customization

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • Jekyll has kept our costs low, very low, on all the projects I've used on it. Think $10 a year low.

    Quora
    • Previously, I never read blogs and I would just try to search here or there on google/the internet for things I was interested in, but now [with Quora] I can find everything in one place.
    • For example, I once searched about the computer languages and their usages and one blog post really sorted out my confusion as it was completely detailed.
