Show HN: JSON Serve – Your JSON, Your Domain, No Server Required

Just made a new utility site to simply serve JSON directly from your custom domain without needing a server. This service aims to help developers who need quick and reliable JSON hosting for various use cases. We also support hosting on our subdomains, if you don't yet own a domain.

Use Cases:

  * API Testing: Quickly set up endpoints for testing and debugging, by just changing the domain.
  * Prototyping: Rapidly iterate and test your ideas.
  * Mobile App Devs: Serve data without the headache of server management.
  * Static Sites and Demos: Host JSON for static websites and demonstrations.
  * Stub Servers: Use as a placeholder until your backend is ready.

How It Works:

  1. Point your domain to our IP address.
  2. Add your JSON payload.
  3. That’s it! You’re up and running.

You can also use a web session file (formerly known as a HAR file) to simulate sessions and streamline your development process.

Why Use JSON Serve?

Setting up and managing a server can be a hassle. JSON Serve lets you skip the setup and maintenance, allowing you to focus on development and testing.

I know there's other sites that kind of do the same thing, but I think the fact that this allows you to setup your own controlled domain allows testing mobile apps/websites much easier, rather than needing to modify lots of API endpoint links.

Lemme know if this is valuable to you, what things would make it more useful, and whether it's a service you'd be willing to pay for as well. Thanks for any feedback!

Keep in mind, this is still very alpha. I don't yet have redundancy or other backups setup. Still working through the concept.
