🌐 What is public.monster? 🌐

📖 The Story

Back in the 90s, you could just drop some HTML files in your

~/public_html

folder and BAM — your site was live for the whole world to see.

No build steps. No frameworks. No deployment pipelines. Just pure, unfiltered creativity.

We want that feeling back.

🎨 What You Can Do

• Upload your HTML, CSS, images — whatever you want

• Your site goes live instantly at

public.monster/~yourusername

• Passwordless authentication (because it's 2025, not 1995)

• Recursive folder uploads (drag your whole site)

• That sweet, sweet 90s aesthetic

🚀 How It Works

1. Sign up with your email (magic link, no passwords!)

2. Upload your files or folders

3. Share your site at

/~yourusername

That's it. No webpack. No npm install. No "building for production."

Just HTML. Just vibes.

🚫 What public.monster is NOT

We're deliberately keeping it simple. This is not:

• An online code editor or IDE

• A Git repository or version control system

• A build system or CI/CD pipeline

• A collaborative coding platform

• A backup or version control tool

Why? Because in the 90s, you used tools on your own computer. You had Notepad, BBEdit, vim, ed (the standard text editor), or whatever text editor you liked. You made your HTML files locally, then uploaded them. That's it.

We want you to use your own tools. Your own workflow. Your own computer. Just like it used to be.

Make it on your machine. Upload it here. Done.
