tinydot turns a folder into a website. A blog, a wiki, docs for a project, a portfolio, a page for anything: drop files into the folder and they're live at yourname.tinydot.com, or at a domain you already own. HOW IT WORKS • Create a site and a real folder appears in Finder (Files on iPhone and iPad) • Drag files in and they're live. Edit one and the site updates. Move it and the site follows • No builder, no deploy step, nothing to publish WHAT BECOMES A PAGE • Markdown becomes pages. Images, video and audio play inline • Code renders with syntax highlighting, PDFs get a viewer, CSVs become tables • Everything else becomes a clean download • Pick a theme, or add your own CSS on top of it WRITE LIKE A WIKI • Link pages with [[wikilinks]] and each page shows what links back • Tag with #hashtags. Mark a file draft and it stays hidden until you're ready • It's plain Markdown, so a notes folder or an Obsidian vault publishes as it is YOUR ADDRESS • Every site gets yourname.tinydot.com the moment you create it • Bring your own domain and point it at your site with one DNS record • HTTPS is issued automatically and renews itself YOUR FILES • The site is a folder on your Mac, iPhone and iPad. It syncs like iCloud Drive, in Finder and in Files • Leave any time and take the whole site with you: there is nothing to export INCLUDED • RSS, sitemap, search and social previews • Keep a site private with sign-in, or invite people to edit • tinydot is free • Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Chat with your agent to build, or drop into a real terminal when you want direct control. You can switch between chat and terminal, and they share the same session and context.

The container comes ready, with nothing to install or configure. - Bring your own agent. Connect the AI subscription you already pay for.
