hi hi! love your blog! I am also working on building sites for my portfolio but am a little stumped on how/where to deploy them. would you mind sharing what you are using for deployment? thanks!
Hiya! I know a few places I've tried in the past and some I am yet to try but I know other developers use them!
GitHub Pages is a free static site hosting service that allows you to publish your website directly from a GitHub repository. It supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as Jekyll, a static site generator. I used GitHub pages a lot since I use GitHub to keep all my repositories.
Replit is a cloud-based development environment that provides an integrated IDE, code editor, and hosting platform all in one place. With Replit, you can easily create and deploy web apps, games, and other projects in multiple programming languages such as Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I use Replit a lot too for my other much smaller projects that I can’t upload on GitHub to run the program online!
Netlify offers a free plan for static site hosting that includes features such as continuous deployment, custom domains, and SSL encryption. It supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as serverless functions and other backend technologies.
Heroku offers a free plan for hobbyist developers that allows you to deploy up to 5 applications. It supports many languages and frameworks, including Ruby, Node.js, Python, Java, PHP, and Go. Heroku allows free hosting for small applications.
Firebase Hosting is a free service that allows you to host and deploy your web app or static content to a global content delivery network (CDN) with SSL encryption. It supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other static assets. It allows free hosting for small applications.
Surge is a free static site hosting service that allows you to publish your website with a custom domain or a Surge subdomain. It supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other static assets. Allows free hosting with unlimited bandwidth.
Each of these free deployment options has its own cons such as:
Its lack of server-side functionality
Limited database support
The cost of advanced features
Limited control over the infrastructure
May not be suitable for more complex websites or applications
However, for small projects, I think you’ll be fine with the free options!
Hoped this helps and good luck with your websites’ deployments! 🥰🙌🏾💗
Hey! I made a bunch of Python notes a bit ago and decided to share them. They're really beginner friendly, and include a bunch of external sources that I used and continue using at the end. Hope this helps someone!
Notion Notes
Last week Heroku announced that they’re discontinuing their free tier and add one. This lead many developers to find alternatives, as heroku’s free plan allowed developers to host a variety of small and demo projects.
The 4 hosting providers listed here are some of the alternatives available for Heroku. The free plans can generally allow developers to host demos and small projects.
Do you use Heroku? And have you migrated to another hosting after this announcement?
Documentation is an important asset for all developers. There are many tools that allow you to easily create a documentation website and even generate some of it from code. These 3 tools I’ve used personally to create documentation at my job, but there are other tools that you can find online to help you with your specific use case.

Another busy study day in SK. Got in another five study chapters and took the scenic route to a new favourite café! Also almost finished another physical read but got horrendously distracted by my criminal minds rewatch...
