Ask HN: Free web host to test javascript?

1 points by japhyr 14y ago

I have been playing with javascript to interact with an html canvas, and I'd like to test a simple program on a couple devices. Is there a reasonable free host to upload a single html/js file to? I don't want to deal with configuring my own server, I just want a quick free subdomain to test the script.

Maybe just email the file to yourself and open it on the mobile devices? Or Dropbox? Or one of the pastebin sites?

  Thank you for this suggestion, I had no idea it could be as simple as emailing the html file to myself.

jsfiddle?

  I had never seen this site before, and I learned something new just by looking at the jquery examples.

Could use the Google App Engine, or any app engine that has free usage. http://alternativeto.net/software/google-app-engine/ http://alternativeto.net/software/google-app-engine/ <--List of alternatives to the the app engine. Also might wanna look at OpenShift https://openshift.redhat.com/ https://openshift.redhat.com/
