so it's like dropbox's "copy public link" feature but applied to directories and automatically generating file listings?<p>i signed up, but i'm kinda confused about the end goal... i can already get a public link for a file in my dropbox, so maybe your app is more like easy peasy web publishing from your dropbox?<p>i recently built a stupid simple blog engine that converts Markdown files from a directory tree (eg. yyyy/mm/dd/title.md) and makes a corresponding HTML tree ready for publishing on the web. i could've used an app that tracks files in my dropbox, automatically detects new ones, compiles to them HTML, thereby publishing a static site. not sure if that's the direction you're taking, though.
