I'm planning to create a public web app, but I'm hoping to keep costs at zero for now. I mainly know Python, but I'm also open to learning a new programming language as the project develops. What are some reliable completely free web app hosting options I can use?

When it comes to finding free options, it’s generally easier if you're working with JavaScript. But there are also Python-friendly options like Cloudflare and Vercel. You can check out these links for more on Python hosting: Vercel's documentation and Cloudflare Workers.
You might want to check out Cloudflare's free tier; it’s a solid option for hosting.
If you're only looking to host static files, there are tons of platforms. I personally like Render, but really, there are a lot of similar sites out there. Just keep in mind that if your app requires server-side processing, most free services will have substantial restrictions due to costs.
If you want complete control, consider setting up a home server. It might take a bit more setup, but it could be a fun project!
A good tip is to build your app first. Once you have it up and running, you’ll have a better idea of what resources you'll actually need. Are you comfortable with databases? Some are free to use, while others charge a fee.
