Also noticed this recently - whats driving this? Non-developers looking to prototype or build actual products without developer involvement? Democratisation of technology?
- r_singh 7y agoAttempts to make web page building (a whole lot) more accessible.
- curiousgal 7y agoJust sheer blindness to Google's eagerness to kill products.
- formercoder 7y agoSheets and Docs are the primary office apps used internally by thousands of Googlers. Seems unlikely that Google would kill them and give everyone Microsoft products.

Maintaining and running his site costs nothing but the domain since he uses Netlify for CI w/Github and hosting with Google Sheets for dynamic data. His "credits" section and song list uses Google Sheets: https://www.pontusrufelt.com https://www.pontusrufelt.com
