I wanted to share a document with a friend, in a view-only sort of way. Google Docs was overkill for what I had in mind, since the document was basically a text file. But I also wanted to be able to update the file so emailing it was out of the question.

So I built Hawk, which lets me turn text files in my Dropbox account into static webpages, processed using Markdown. Even better, 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.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Sample page: http://www.hawk.io/tp/sus2011 (my (very incomplete) startup school notes from yesterday)

(ps. I'm somewhat ambivalent on the name, alternatives there are welcome too)

looks interesting but getting the following error: http://bit.ly/uPmrTE

Argh, you're right, I didn't realize that I had to flip the switch. I've just done that, but given it's a Sunday night it might take a while for it to activate. I'll repost when that happens.
