"Put a google map in a browser with no code" Because copy pasting the markup / js was so difficult?

  Imagine you are a dentist who has a web site for your practice.

    Yeah, don't underestimate how annoying stuff is for most people. Even partially technically-aware users are right to prefer some easy click-n-add system vs getting into details themselves. Though I'm not sure how much those users intersect with Cloudflare users...

    Are you saying it's going to be easier for a dentist to set up their DNS with Cloudflare and then go through these steps?

  I can see this being used in large corporations to end-around a sluggish IT group.

  There are developers (https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses/storemapper https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses/storemapper) who are making a significant amount of money from apps like these. For some people 'copy pasting' is hard. Most people don't know how to code and don't want to deal with it.

  The use case is probably not around maps but more around ads. Say you have a web project using cloudflare. There can be a single button on cloudflare called "monetise" which injects ads into the page. Additionally I've seen that major media sites use analytics services for tagging and have a way via the tagging tool to inject javascript.. This is a pretty terrible idea but allows the tagging changes to not be coordinated with site changes as usually a different team controls the tagging. Cloudflare would be able to provide another way to inject custom analytics / tracking into pages.
