Short answers:
1. Yes
2. Yes, but probably not.
3. Yes.
Long answers.
1. Yes, absolutely, it's ideal for quick, easy-to-distribute apps or
demo samples.
2. Yes, you'll need somewhere to store/give access to the files. But it
probably won't be Google Drive - you want the files of the app to each
be accessible via https: (and there are assumptions about their relative
position in the default build version - may be possible to over-ride
them and use Google Drive, but I suspect lots more work. Easiest is to
just have a web server and put the bundle created by build-for-web up
there.
3. Yes.
4. There are a few samples, etc.

Note this uses the default-built HTML file, which is pretty unappealing.
The discussion on the comments says something about replacing it, or
there have been other examples on the uselist and (more) on the forums
about this. In one of the LC Global conferences fairly recently, Steve
Crighton and Michael Macreary did a web app, with custom html/LCS to
interact to handle resizing etc. Sorry - don't know which one it was,
and the poor indexing/naming makes it tedious to try to find. It's all a
bit complex and barely documented for now, but will improve before
actual release.

Back in the day, I would create quick and simple demos of something I was
building as a concept, create standalones, and send them to the people I
wanted to demonstrate to. As an example of an example, suppose I wanted to
build a simple Eliza-like chatbot. I could throw a field on a card, put a
"start chat" button on it, and build logic in the field or the card to get
the job done. A few message handlers for EnterInField and ReturnInField
would get the job done.
These days there are at least two flaws with that approach:
1. Often the people I want to demo to are using work computers that are
locked down from random app installs.
2. Sometimes I want to build a demo the world at large can see, and clearly
installing an app from some random person is not the way to do that anymore.
SO: is it accurate to say:
1. The above is possible
2. I'd need a web-accessible place to store the files -- would google drive
be sufficient?
3. I'd need to add an HTML5 license to my account
Any best references for steps to follow?
Thanks,
Geoff
