Hello, Foldocs

Foldocs turns a shared folder of documents into a website. You write in Google Docs or Word, share the folder with a link, and a few minutes after every change the site follows: pages from documents, sections from folders, photo pages from photos.

This site is the first one in public, and made by it. Every page you read here is a document in one Google Drive folder, which you can see beside the site; every page links to its own document. The same folder also makes this site as a blog and as a folder tree.

Why

The place where people write is rarely the place where their website is. Foldocs makes them the same place, without a system to learn: no editor, no database, no plug-ins, no logins.

Where to start

• Your first site takes you from an empty folder to a site
• The Examples show four sites, folder by folder
• The Guide shows everything Foldocs does, one page at a time

What's next

OneDrive and Dropbox as sources, and a hosted version for anyone who would rather not run a server. Foldocs is in beta: tell us what breaks.
