I wanted to share some information with a friend. Google Docs felt too heavyweight for what I had in mind, since the document was basically a text file, and he only needed read access. I also wanted to be able to update the file, so emailing it was out of the question.

As a result, I built Pancake, which lets me turn text files in my Dropbox account into static webpages, processed using Markdown. It works wherever Dropbox does: I can edit the text file right on my desktop or on my phone (using Nebulous Notes), and the changes are instantly synced to the page.

I've only been at it for about a week and a half, and would love to hear your feedback!

ps. This is a bit of a repost, since I posted it earlier without having my Dropbox developer account approved for production (but deleted the post as soon as I realized it)
