What I find interesting is that a lot of information now lives outside traditional sites:

updates on social platforms

shared docs

spreadsheets

internal tools that get screenshotted or linked

In many of those cases, people aren’t really trying to “publish” in the classic sense — they just want a stable, public reference that doesn’t require joining a platform or logging in.

Search engines still matter, but it feels like a growing amount of content is accessed via direct links rather than discovery.

Curious whether you’ve seen good lightweight patterns for this that don’t turn into full websites.

I’ve noticed a similar thing — business contexts already revolve around spreadsheets and dashboards, so the desire isn’t really “a website” as much as a stable, public view that stays in sync.

In those cases it feels less like publishing and more like exposing an existing source of truth in a readable way.

Curious whether you’ve seen this solved cleanly in Microsoft-centric setups, or if people mostly accept heavier tooling there.
