Another day, another service joins the Google Graveyard.

Google's Business Profiles had a feature that allowed sole traders and small businesses to quickly and easily set up a simple website.

Sure, it's not WordPress, but it was a good option for less tech savvy small businesses to get a web presence up quickly and easily.

And, as part of Google's ongoing enshittification, it's going: https://support.google.com/business/answer/14368911?hl=en&ref_topic=7032534&sjid=14999411477128650858-AP

"Websites made with Google Business Profiles are basic websites powered by the information on your Business Profile. In March 2024, websites made with Google Business Profiles will be turned off and customers visiting your site will be redirected to your Business Profile instead. The redirect will work until June 10, 2024."

@chahk Google Play Music is very missed as it made it so easy to upload one's music collection to the cloud. I've since switched to #Navidrome, though my set-up is not for the faint hearted, as as it runs on a Synology server behind a CGNAT, so I had to set up a tunnel using FRP to make it publicly accessible. Hosting the music in the cloud wouldn't be cheap

I run Navidrome in Docker on my UnRaid server and I access it via nginx reverse proxy.
