Idea validation - google drive to website
Inspired by others maker using google services to create websites (https://www.sheet2site.com/ and https://www.youdontneedwp.com/) and facing this problem myself I came up with the idea.
I wanted to share my studying materials with other students so at first, I shared my google drive link only, but then new generations wanted it so I created a website and just add files there along with other features (contact, reviews, comments and so on).
So a solution for this would be a service that will create a website based on your google drive folder and allow you to add custom domain. It will also require a password to access website if needed and allow a specific group of users to edit content or request changes using google docs.
What do you think?
If it solves your own problem, build it!
I have already solved my problem, but I wanted to find out if other people could find it useful :)
You could even store comments in... a Google Sheet :)
It is a nice idea, thanks :)
There is definitely a market for that. Take a lot at https://blot.im which does something like you say but for Dropbox. Add a few minimal themes, ability to add custom domains, plus a CDN and few globally distributed DNS servers and you're good to go. Easier said than done tho. Good luck !
Bolt is something similar to youdontneedwp.com that was mentioned in my post.
I was more interested in some sort of file sharing, it will have documents like posts also, but it is wasn't mentioned primarily for blogging.
I like the idea!

I think collaboration is a big plus for this product.
Thanks for your opinion man I really appreciate it.
I received few more validations and I'm ready to start planning and building.
