How to share and document hobby projects today?

Best answer may be your own static site, "advertised" in a forum like eevblog, although I have run into plenty of links to dead personal sites where the owner's projects died with them :(

Don't overlook github (or gitlab, or ...) as a place to host the design files and documentation.  It's not only for code.  Git does have a pretty steep learning curve, but you will thank yourself later for maintaining your designs in a proper source-control repository like git, and for using a sane format like Markdown for writing your documentation.  And, once you are doing that, you may as well push it up to github for backup and sharing.  If github turns evil at some point, you can easily push your local repo to the git-hosting site du jour, so you're not tied to one web site.

Whatever you do, don't rely on outfits like hackaday or instructables to host your project.  They not only make it *more* difficult for others to access it; when they eventually go belly-up so will your precious documentation.

Github have webpages for projects, it's called github pages.

Not used it myself, but probably worth checking out.
Github might go away but git itself won't. It makes moving the entire project to another host is very simple
