#2Hi, 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.

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.

#5Interesting! 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.

#10So, 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)
