The URL of the actual app is terrifying. I was certain the site had been hijacked when it redirected to the most suspicious looking URL imaginable at the domain "drv.tw": https://lzdmsmujepoc2xlgp13srg-on.drv.tw/Don%27tTouchYaFace/www.DontTouchYaFace.com.html https://lzdmsmujepoc2xlgp13srg-on.drv.tw/Don%27tTouchYaFace/... (HN shortens this, but I think the real kicker is the '.com.html' at the end)

  I have no idea why someone would go through all this trouble when you can just drag and drop a folder onto Netlify or Zeit.

    Because setting up websites is hard and they got frustrated.

      And we're not paying anything.

    Am I so out of touch that I've never heard of these 2 sites that everyone else is intimately familiar with? How did you become familiar with them OP?

      Netlify has shown up here on HN occasionally. I don't recognize the other one.

  I mean, he was able to put that website up and running (the main url), then another bizarre sketchy URL. What's up with paying something? How much is hosting, like $2 a month?!

drv.tw is a "Google Drive to web" proxy. It lets you stick an html file on google drive and have it on the internet. I'm not sure how it pays for itself - after all, every byte served has to go through their servers, and running a service like this I can imagine a lot of illicit content gets posted too (requiring a lot of admin time). Why not just use github/lab pages?

https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/models/1lXY78MD/ https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/models/1lXY78MD/ Also terrifying... I mean, it's google... after all - Pretty sure my android device knows when I'm touching my face when it's turned off.
