Show HN: Publish a blog from Google Sheet

Hello HN!

I previously created Sheet2Site.com, it lets you generate a website from a Google Sheet. A lot of users asked me how they can create a simple blog in the same way.

So I made a super simple blog in a single spreadsheet. It support Markdown for posts, and has support for a image header, nav bar, logo. Everything can be changed inside the sheet.

It also has Markdown live preview, to see how what you're writing will look like. And basic features like social media cards with images and custom CSS/JS.

I decided to move my personal blog from Medium. I used it for 2 years, but not it's just annoying.

Here's a blog demo: https://blog.andreyazimov.com/

And here's the source spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M_T1V_WIg4AYK7QmugFo...

Let me know what you think, I'd love feedback.

What I might like better is if you can publish a blog from a NNTP feed. If there is a article which has some sort of verification and lack a "References" header, then it appears as a blog post; if there is a "References" header then it will appear as a comment, and users can post comments using NNTP.

Markdown would work, due to two advantages they have: It is easy to read even if it has not been rendered as Markdown, and there is a MIME type defined (so that a NNTP post using Markdown can have a "Content-type" header to indicate that). This is unlike bbcode, which doesn't have these advantages.
