Show HN: Quickish – Instant HTML Hosting

PaybackTony1 pts0 comments

As Claude and ChatGPT has gotten better, I ve found myself enjoying using Co-Work to make presentations at work. Sharing the HTML files on Slack and elsewhere was cumbersome and trying to host it somewhere public (even if unlisted) wasn t much of an option for my work stuff.Then I saw Shopify s blog post about Quick (https://shopify.engineering/quick), an internal intranet with simple HTML page hosting and was inspired. I wasn t sure I could get buy-in to host it at my day job so I spent my own time coming up with Quickish. Now I can share all my beautiful presentations.Originally I wanted it to be tied to Google Drive / Workspaces, you share the folder with quickish and put your HTML in, quickish hosts it while respecting the privacy of the folder (workspace only, etc). However, as I worked through building I realized I could make it easier to use and add that part in. Actually, it already works behind the scenes I just need to get the app verified.And now, you have what you see. Everyone gets 1 free live site at a time (you can push multiple, just your latest one via CLI or whichever you choose one the web UI is active at a time unless you opt for the cheap unlimited plan). Just run `npm i -g quickish quickish` in a directory with your HTML file and that s it, one Google OAuth away from the page being live. You can keep them private and only invite other users (only google for now) as well.If you use a work e-mail sites you publish are auto-gated to only people within your org. Again, only Google Accounts for now (more coming, OneDrive, Dropbox to start).Pages do get access to JS DB scoped to your account / workplace which is fun (imo) - I am in the process of touching up the live pub-sub (think claude made live dashboard fed by API posts to your quickish db).Hope you enjoy!
