GitHub Pages

A free, static web host for open-source projects on GitHub
Pricing:
- Open Source
The GitHub Pages splash page (https://pages.github.com/) has a nice little interactive tutorial for just that, and I've seen plenty of repo templates for various SSGs/themes, but I think a lot of users still run into the following hurdles: - Not knowing what GitHub is or how it works (let alone Git itself).

mmm.page

Dead simple, drag & drop personal websites

There was a restaurant I went to in CDMX this summer and their menu was a public preview link to a document in Figma. I couldn't stop laughing at the fact but delighted by how well it just worked. I love this stuff. I have tons of little single HTML file sites I make from this [Vue template](https://vue-template.spaghet.me/). I also have sites just published as public Notion docs, inline photo libraries from iCloud, etc. Its amazing how easy and available it is to just connect stuff, and how often I want to over complicate things and build something from scratch when I can just link stuff together. On an aside I also love things like [mmm.page](https://mmm.page/) for quickly stitching together little micro sites or single use sites if I don't have time to do something else. Its fun exploring all these tools.

CNN

CNN Lite

Text-only CNN, for mobile limited coverage

CNN is on https://lite.cnn.com/. The home page is a single 30KB HTML file (my browser also insists on downloading their 6KB favicon). A thing of beauty, compared to their normal home page with 90+ files of 12MB.

Plain Text Sports

Sick of waiting for ESPN to load on your phone?

Someone on here I think runs Plain Text Sports. I rarely follow games, but I like the idea of such a simple site. https://plaintextsports.com/.
