Need to launch a quick prototype or share your website/app with someone. Upload it to Orbiter for free and have a link in seconds. https://orbiter.host

Inspired by @stevedylandev.eth's blog post on hosting an Obsidian Digital Garden, I launched my second site on Orbiter today. There is not much there yet, but hopefully this will inspire me to create more long-form content in /obsidian. skyron.orbiter.website

As Steve and I are coming up on the end of our free trial of Notion for Orbiter, we started asking ourselves if we really need Orbiter. We used to use it for all our blog post reviews but we changed to using pull requests. We’re also experimenting with keeping our planning docs and ideas in markdown files on GitHub. So I saw this post today and it just clicked with me. https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/26/notes/

Orbiter has everything you’ve probably asked for from a hosting platform in the past: ✅ Open source ✅ Blockchain-native ✅ IPFS decentralization ✅ ENS support ✅ Blazing fast ✅ Ridiculously easy So if you have a web app or website and you’re not using Orbiter, respond to this and let me know why. I’d love to better understand it and maybe talk about how you *could* use Orbiter instead. https://orbiter.host

I wrote this long before starting Orbiter, so if you're wondering how bought in I am to the simplicity that web hosting *should* be.

Added a special bullet point to Orbiter's pricing page to make it clear this is not just about features. It's about building something different and doing it independently.

Did you know you can have a static site and NOT have to write your blog posts in your code editor? Did you know you can have a static site and invite collaborators? This is where a headless CMS shines. I wrote a tutorial on how to use the Pages CMS with a static site and Orbiter. https://orbiter.host/blog/how-to-create-a-static-site-blog-with-a-headless-cms

Hey @stevedylandev.eth should we rewrite Orbiter’s web server (or daemon as Sir Tim Berners-Lee originally referred to it) in C? https://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Daemon/JanetAndJohn.html
