Hrm. You have my attention. Is there a demo blog up somewhere I could look at and does this support custom blog themes and post templating yet?

- krptos 10y agoThanks! Here's mine - http://hexopress.com/@joe http://hexopress.com/@joe. Nope, I haven't started concentrating on making it all that customizable, except for a few basics. It's in the roadmap.
- webwanderings 10y agoWordpress also recently came up with the add-on to have your Google Docs saved up as blog posts. I see parallel here. Interesting idea.
- lewisjoe 10y agoYes. Comparatively speaking, there's this tiny little difference in perspective. HexoPress offers a complete sync between a folder on your Google Drive and your blog. Wordpress doesn't. It just takes a given post from Google Docs, when you are done with it and puts it into its database. That's pretty much it.
- webwanderings 10y agoMakes sense. I'm not sure why I would use "your service" to do this (blog on my Google, only to have the document show up somewhere else). I see value in a service if such connector is available within Google for me to keep it within Google. Nothing wrong with your service, and it is a fantastic idea, but just saying. I think this idea is more feasible if it is available as an independent entity. I find it strange that neither Microsoft, nor Google cared to think about it, given that a word processor is a natural fit.
- lewisjoe 10y agoGood perspective. Wordpress is excellent at what it does. It makes complete sense, to go for it to do some serious blogging. This project is for the rest of us, lazy bloggers who've gotten used to using Google Docs as a personal scratchpad and would want to blog right from there!
- lewisjoe 10y agoThanks for asking. I've added a link to the demo blog, right on the homepage. Hope that should help others as well.
