I launched DropPages in March 2011 as a side project. I wanted an easy way to create and manage websites quickly and effortlessly. I designed DropPages so that content and presentation are loosly coupled, pages render fast, and templates are easy to manage.
I love this idea. Share a folder in your DropBox with the folks at DropPages.com, and that folder instantly (once approved) becomes a website. Edit your site locally (using Markdown, yay!) and your changes are reflected at DropPages immediately. It’s not magic, nor especially complex, but what a clever idea.
I created one at jackbaty.droppages.com using the demo template site. I don’t even have a real use for it yet, but there’s no question that it’s darn nifty.
Just another reason DropBox rules the Internet.
