What Hacker News says

3 sources
My first encounter with a docs -> website was the now-defunct joelewis' hexopress.com. The code; however, is opensource [0]. There's a dated, unmaintained Google Docs to Markdown converter [1] which can be used as a source for a static site generator like Hugo [2]. This is particular interesting since folks can style content as they normally would from within Google Docs and have it show up with the same styling on a webpage, rather than write HTML themselves.
