Hello, Foldocs

Your folder is your website.

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

Because the place where people write is rarely the place where their website is. Foldocs closes that gap without adding a system to learn: no editor, no database, no plug-ins, no logins. What it builds are plain web pages, fast and accessible, that any web server can host.

Where to start

  • The Guide shows everything Foldocs does, one page at a time
  • The Examples show how others could set up their folder
  • To run it yourself, see Get started

What's next

OneDrive and Dropbox as sources, and a hosted version for anyone who would rather not run a server.
