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.

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.
