Welcome to my blog!
Iβm excited to launch this new site where Iβll be sharing my coding projects, technical explorations, and general technology musings.
Featured Project: Host-Free
To kick things off, I want to introduce Host-Free β a fascinating project that enables completely serverless data storage and sharing using only URLs.
What is Host-Free?
Host-Free is a web application that lets you:
- Store data directly in URLs using compression and encoding
- Encrypt sensitive data with password protection
- Share information without needing a backend server
- Create shortened URLs using services like KVdb or TinyURL
Key Features
π¦ URL-Based Storage
- Compresses and encodes data into URL fragments
- No server-side database required
- Works entirely client-side
π Built-in Encryption
- AES encryption for sensitive data
- Password-protected pages
- Everything encrypted before leaving your browser
π URL Shortening Integration
- Support for multiple shortening services
- KVdb integration for persistent storage
- TinyURL support for quick links
Try it Out
You can check out Host-Free at /host-free/ - itβs fully functional right here on this site!
The project demonstrates the power of modern browser APIs and creative use of URL standards to build applications that work without traditional backends.
Technical Details
Host-Free uses:
- LZ-String for data compression
- CryptoJS for AES encryption
- Base64 encoding for URL-safe data transfer
- URL Fragment identifiers for client-side data storage
All processing happens in your browser β no data is ever sent to a server (unless you choose to use a URL shortening service).
Stay tuned for more projects and technical posts. Feel free to explore the code on GitHub!
