• Does anyone know how to export a tour to Google slides using pano2vr?

• HTML Exporter | Export your games library to (static) html files

  You can use onedrive or googledrive to upload your files and then share the complete folder and use https://drv.tw/ to make a website out of it. But that system will be slower than real hosting or selfhosted system but you don't have to worry about disk space or bandwidth then. Source: about 3 years ago

• POTD: 15x15 cryptic crossword

  There is an alternative you can use with Google Drive or MS OneDrive, called DriveToWeb, however it creates relatively ugly URLs and you have to grant it full access to your storage space, whereas DropPages can be restricted to a specific area. If I were to use it, I think I would create a separate new Google/MS account just for that. Other than that there is GitHub Pages – where I'm now hosting the POTD... Source: about 3 years ago

• POTD: Cold Comfort

  Unfortunately, the DropPages service no longer offers any free space to new users. A similar service for either Google Drive or OneDrive is DriveToWeb, However, the URLs it creates are comparatively ugly and it needs full access granting to the storage space – unlike DropPages which is restricted to a specific folder in DropBox – so I would recommend creating a separate account to anyone considering using that....

• Building a (Virtual) Events Site

  The site is deployed to Netlify. There's really nothing special to share about that since Netlify makes the deployment super easy. A quirk of Hugo on Netlify means that I do need to specify the Hugo version as an environment variable but otherwise the deployment just works. One specific requirement of my site is to override the default Hugo build method to include the -F or --buildFuture flag because my events are... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• My brother asked me to build a website for his new small business

  Cons are that it might be a bit heavy hitting for a simple website. You may find there to be a cost to host it, whereas using a static site generator will allow you to use the free tier on netlify.com. SSG's are easier to use and less work to do, including less security to worry about. Source: 7 months ago
