Hey everyone! I created a small app using HTML (just in Notepad) that I currently use with a coworker. I'm thinking it might grow into something bigger, but for now, I want to keep it simple and accessible from any browser without having to download the HTML file. What are some completely free hosting options you would recommend? I was considering Netlify but would love to hear your thoughts! Also, I have some experience with WordPress and Elementor but haven't seen any free hosting options for those that seem good.

Have you thought about using GitHub Pages? It's a great option for simple HTML sites. You'll need to make your repository public unless you go for a paid GitHub option, but the free version works well for static sites! Plus, you can easily upload your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Yeah, GitHub Pages is awesome for non-backend projects. I use it all the time!
Since you've got some background with WordPress, maybe stick with that for the long term? Free hosting can come with a lot of limitations. If you're okay with a small fee, I recommend Nixihost, they’ve treated me well with no unexpected price hikes!
Netlify is another fantastic choice! You can deploy your HTML app for free, plus it’s really user-friendly. Just drag and drop your files, and you're ready to go!
You might want to check out Cloudflare Pages. It's also free and super simple to use. You just upload your app, and it can be up and running in no time!
Vercel is amazing for hosting, too! I host several projects there at no cost. If you've bought a domain, you can easily link it to your Vercel site. Just make sure your GitHub account is personal and not an organization; that's the only catch!
Totally agree! GitHub Pages is super easy to set up. Just remember that if you want a private repo, you'd have to pay, but for just sharing with your coworker, it should work fine.
