What this is.
MyJay is free static site hosting for people who want a small place on the
web that's theirs. You get a subdomain (username.myjay.net)
and a place to put HTML, CSS, JS, and a few images. That's it. There's no
editor magic, no themes, no templates. You bring the files, we serve them.
It's built entirely on Cloudflare's free tier: Pages for the platform UI, Workers for routing subdomains, D1 for accounts, R2 for your files, and KV for sessions. No traditional server, no database for your site's content. Your files are your site.
What this isn't.
- It isn't a website builder. There's no drag-and-drop editor.
- It isn't a CMS. There's no server-side code running on your site.
- It isn't a database host.
username.myjay.netserves static files only. - It isn't going to track you, or your visitors, or sell anyone's data. There's nothing to sell anyway.
The limits.
| Resource | Limit |
|---|---|
| Storage | 50MB per account |
| File types | html, css, js, images (jpg/png/gif/webp/svg/ico), fonts, txt/md/json/xml |
| Server-side code | none static files only |
| Databases | none bring your own data as JSON/files if you need it |
| Upload limit | 25MB per request (Cloudflare Pages Functions hard limit) |
| Custom domains | not yet Phase 2 |
50MB is small on purpose. This is for text, a handful of images, maybe a font. If you need more, you're probably building something that wants a real host, and that's fine, this isn't trying to be that.
The ethos.
The old web was messy and personal and occasionally ugly, and that was good. MyJay exists because the indie web (Neocities, GeoCities before it, every hand-coded "under construction" GIF) was a better place to put a website than a profile on someone else's platform. No algorithm decides who sees your page. No analytics script reports back on who's looking. No ads, here or on your site. There's no VC money behind this, which also means there's no pressure to monetize you.
Dev log / roadmap.
Rough order, no promises on timing.
- done v0.1.0-alpha: accounts, dashboard, file manager, publishing, explore page
- next blog tool: a simple posts list + RSS, still just static files under the hood
- next guestbook: leave a note on someone's site, the old-fashioned way
- later microblog: short posts, your own little timeline
- later custom domains: point your own domain at your myjay site
- later pro plan: more storage, custom domains, for people who outgrow 50MB
- maybe indie ad network: opt-in, between sites only, never on the platform itself
