Show HN: The original littr.me, an easy way to put HTML on the web (littr.me)

This is an answer to a question I saw on HN a while back: what is the easiest way to put HTML on the web.

The way it works is that you can go to any URL on the domain, be presented with an empty editable HTML page that you can modify as you want. There are some small conveniences made to formatting and has support for drag and dropping images.

It is based on the functionality provided by htlm.org with a couple of improvements (besides no intrusive Javascript). The main one is the fact that a page can be protected by a password forbidding others from editing it. Another one is that you can create namespaces for your notes, by allowing a / terminated URL to function as an index for the pages that exist under it. (You can see an example at https://original.littr.me/~marius/).


couldn't this be a major security issue since you could integrate your own js to any url on the domain?


Another place to host your html is https://ichi.city


Do you need an invitation code to use that?


What kind of markup does it recognize? Markdown?


It doesn't understand any markup language, you can use just plain HTML.

It doesn't have a helper bar, but it recognizes some of the traditional shortcuts for formatting. They are described in an alt text for the page.

The main use cases that I've seen for it are people writing down something quick (therefore not a lot of formatting requirements), or people copy pasting information from another HTML page that they want to keep a reference too (the formatting is kept from original page).


Thanks!
