Comment on Stack Exchange Engineering: How We Built Our Blog

That’s exactly what I just did for my daily video / podcasting site Rate My App.com.

- Everything in markdown

- Generate the podcasts as an RSS feed

- Generate the list of videos as JSON, filtered inside the AngularJS app

Such an approach is not great for SEO in the short-term, so I won't be surprised if they lose ranking because their posts and comments are missing from the the html until their jQuery code fetches and renders them.

For me, I don't have 700 posts so that's easy to address later once I have content worth indexing, keeping the urls the same of course. :)
