Publish as website

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem or unsupported use case? Please describe.
As Docs will support sub-pages, users will want to publish docs and sub-docs as websites.

Describe the solution you'd like
A published page should display a minimilized interface of Docs (no versioning for instance, no sharing panel, no login button or home page button).
This feature implies creating a user flow for publishing a page as we'll have to offer some settings for publication (allow for search engine indexing for ex).
We might want to add a bunch of features like adding a cover image so that the website look nice or custom domain support.

For now let's figure out what an MVP looks like:

• publish as website menu
• config panel :
  • Index by search engine toggle
• alert banner on doc page
• grid view indication that a page is published
• Website view (minimal docs UI)
  • "Created with docs" mention

Discovery, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy
Notion has been knowned for providing this features, here are bunch of screens related to that user flow.
Publish tab in share modal:

Publish config panel:

Website view:

Alert banner in-app:

Customize UI config panel:

First proposition, simple to do, and no need for a new sharing mode : just click public and share the link, the viewer will see the screenshot below.

The Logo + connexion button can be moved elsewhere / changed to be more or less prominent.

Yowa needs this to publish a page announcing an event for rules as code.
@sampaccoud would it be tricky to support custom domains like Notion does ?

[sampaccoud]

@virgile-dev I would say feasible but not trivial as it involves creating ingresses in Kubernetes on the fly. Anything easier than that @rouja ?
It also raises the question of what domains we would allow...

It might be the simplest, but it’s not trivial. On-the-fly ingress is one example, while DNS and certificates are others.
