Create a website in URL form easily with this web tool

Former Google designer Nicholas Jitkoff, now vice president of Dropbox's design, has created a very compact and cool new web tool he calls "micro sites" with self-contained capabilities. yourself and exist as a URL only.

From this page, you can fill a text area of ​​about 8.5 x 1 inch with plain text, ASCII characters or emoticons or combine them all.The limited number of bytes really depends on where you will share it.Twitter and Slack allow about 4,000 bytes, while Chrome on Mac can hold up to 10,000 bytes.

This site is practically not hosted anywhere - the entire website exists as a URL compressed with the Lempel-Ziv-Markov string algorithm.On the explanation of this micro-page - of course, is stored as a micro-page that you will create - Jitkoff said this will help 'significantly reduce the size of HTML' and allow printing a page with important content only '.Since then, the compressed content has been converted from binary to string form, acting as a standard web path.

Website contains all in its own URL

The actual data is stored at the end of the path, after the # sign icon.Users can also share this micro-page in the form of QR codes, the page can also compress to about 2,610 bytes.

According to Jitkoff, even this part is kept safe because web browsers usually don't send fragments of a URL to the server.'Instead, the browser (usually) uses them to scroll to the correct position of the page when loading the page'.

Jitkoff is not sure what the user will do with his product, it is now also available as open source on Github.But he also suggested using it to type in a poem, pass the Twitter character limit and use it to redirect the domain name, thereby helping to store the text larger than usual as a separate URL.
