So, it's like bitbaloon but with a self destruct timer? I use bitbaloon when needing to host a few static HTML files for demo purpose. Also, please add a message for disabled js users (noscript with site text in it)
Your description is apt. Bitballoon seems limited by the fact that it requires an index.html page. I want to provide a way to temporarily host a wider range of content in further iterations. Think autoindexing, download as zip, display as gallery etc. As for noscript, good point, I completely forgot about that.
Hi, developer here. This is a small passion project to solve a simple problem - sometimes you just need to temporarily demo/serve something over http and be done with it.
The idea is simple, you drag and drop your files (for Chrome and Firefox directories work too) and get a link in return, that expires in 24 hours. That's it. As always, feedback from the community is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use.
I can't personally imagine using it while gh-pages is free - but I love how simple it is, good work.
Thank you! For me the use case is to show some work in progress demos/prototypes without messing around with git. Obviously this is meant for simple use cases, there are far better tools for static site hosting for more complex issues.
Yeah I don't know though, git is usually the first thing I do for a demo or prototype so I'm not sure I see it.
Interesting! Do you think you will also add the option to password-protect the link?
Actually that was one of the next things on my mind, adding something simple like Basic Auth to it.
Nice to hear!
how about pastebin, ghostbin or even HN comments as websites? maybe run them through archive.org or even some other site with RSS as an overlay ...
