#2Hey HN!
My co-founder and I launched Orbiter in January to solve an issue we were having with all the mini sites and apps we were launching for our day job. We had gotten frustrated with complicated deployment pipelines and wanted to return to launching simple static sites and launching them quickly.
So, we built Orbiter. We focused initially on making uploads of your static build folder simple and fast. We then layered in a CLI, an API, and a Github action. So Orbiter can fit into just about any workflow.
From the beginning, we wanted it to be open source, and after about 2 months of work, we have just open sourced the entire stack[1].
I hope you'll give it a try and please drop any feedback here.

Every site is hosted on IPFS. This creates a built-in version system and prevents vendor lock-out. Because we want this to be as open as possible (like the web should be), anyone can see a mapping of the history of the sites. We wrote more about it here: https://orbiter.host/blog/how-we-use-blockchain-behind-the-s...
