Dropweave

Inspiration

Services like Netlify Drop and tiiny.host exist to help developers easily host and share their web apps, but they only keep it online temporarily and your website gets automatically deleted after a few days. You're then required to sign up for an account and pay a monthly fee to keep your website online.

What it does

Dropweave is a simple, hassle-free way to host your website in seconds! It allows you to drag & drop a folder from your computer and publish it on Arweave, a decentralized network that offers scalable and permanent data storage. You also get to pay the tiny storage fee via the Polygon network, which means fast transactions and low gas fees!

This approach has a lot of advantages, including:

• 👤 No account needed: You just need a Polygon wallet!

• ⚡ Always online websites: Your website is stored on the Arweave network, forever.

• ♾️ No limits: No maximum file size and unlimited deployments.

• 💰 Super cheap deployments: Deploy for as cheap as $0.008/MB.

• 👛 Pay with MATIC: Available on all major exchanges and supported by most wallets.

• 🔔 One time fee: No more recurring subscriptions to keep your website online.

Fun fact: the Dropweave web app was published using Dropweave itself. So meta!
