Maybe I just don't get it, but who is the target audience for something like this ?

- andrewfelix 14y agoQuickly deploy an easily editable site at no cost. Off the top of my head; for me this would be useful for showing HTML work in progress to clients. EDIT: Didn't realise the free option only allows 100MB/month. Turns out this is kind of useless for me :(

- Shenglong 14y agoIt'd be very useful for laypeople. No FTP, no SSH, no SCP... You just drag and drop - I can definitely see it taking off. Actually, I think I'll be using it too for shenglong.ca where I keep a bunch of static content. Lots of people have domains, but don't really pay for any servers during project down times (blasphemy, I know!)
- WrkInProgress 14y agoBut these same lay people are going to create html and css files ? I'm not trying to obtuse but I'm having a hard time seeing the value proposition of something like this.
- logn 14y agoMaybe these lay people pay a few hundred dollars to a freelancer for a simple website and don't know a good hosting option. E.g., I just designed a very simple, 3-page static site for a roofing company.
- recursive 14y agoIt's easier than ftp, and I suspect ftp is the most commonly used deployment mechanism on the internet.
