I created MyPost ( https://mypost.io https://mypost.io ) as a way to get a page up and running on the Internet in seconds. It was originally made for me... but I really wanted to share it with the world and see if people would find a use for it. I wanted a place where I didn't have to register for any account and could use HTML and CSS (Javascript works to an extent too!) to design web pages. Really, to make or share quick notes when I was working with my clients. It was also a way for them to easily make changes to the post so long as they had a password.
But it can be used for so much more ( https://mypost.io/post/what-can-i-do-with-mypost https://mypost.io/post/what-can-i-do-with-mypost ).
It is completely free to use. I don't have any plans to charge for it, and have not even added advertising or anything to it yet, but it still receives maintenance and updates, though no more major feature implementations are planned. It was my first web app and taught me a lot, from learning the basics of database programming to a friendly UI that could be understood by everyone. My sister, who is not very tech or computer savvy, was the beta tester. Whenever she questioned something or got stuck on something, I redesigned that feature to make it even easier. Whether it was functionality or the wording.. if she questioned it, it was redone.
It boosted my confidence into the web app world. Right now, I've got about 8 more web apps in the works, 3 of which are in the stages of beta testing, and though there is a free version, they will actually be paid subscription to access additional features. So I am proud to boast about this project, as it was the start to my empire.
