I would like to do a small-medium guide on something I did that I couldn’t find so many resources for, what do you think would be the best place to do this without so much hassle and preferably with free hosting?
It matters how big your guide will be. Just some Markdown? Github Gist. A few Markdown files? Gist/ Repository. A large-scale documentation? Use Github Pages.
Hope this helps
This or a gist. So much easier to find and great for cloning and referencing too (others can link to specific lines for instance which Medium isn’t as great for).

I use GitHub pages and mdbook (https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook)
mdBook is also really cool
Create github project, write markdown documents as readme.md?

I find dev.to nice
I used to write on Medium before, but I switched to dev.to because it was more friendly to readers.
That looks good, thanks
