Comparison

aft.page vs GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages is free static hosting from a public repo. aft.page is for the small software your AI agent just built — a live URL now, private sharing when you need it, no git push required.

When GitHub Pages is the right call

  • A public docs or open-source project site
  • You already live in git and want free hosting
  • No need for private invites or short-lived tools
  • Static content that can wait on a Pages build

When aft.page is the right call

  • Your agent just built something — you want a URL now
  • No repo, no push, no GitHub account required
  • Share privately with a teammate and revoke later
  • Your own domain after claim (first one free)
  • Internal tools and prototypes you update in place and stop when done

Bottom line: GitHub Pages is free public hosting for repo-backed sites. aft.page is the publishing and permission layer for agent-made small software — instant URL, private sharing, clear ownership, no git ceremony.

Common questions

Is aft.page a GitHub Pages alternative?

For agent-built small software you want to share privately or update without a repo, yes. For a free public static site tied to an open-source project on GitHub, GitHub Pages is often enough. They solve different problems.

Do I need a GitHub repository to deploy on aft.page?

No. Drop files, paste HTML, or have your agent call the MCP. There is no repository to create or push to.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes after you claim. Your first domain is free — add it on the project Domains tab, then CNAME to cname.aft.page. HTTPS issues from there. Your default URL stays.

Can GitHub Pages do private sharing?

GitHub Pages sites are public. Private Pages need GitHub Enterprise. On aft.page you can claim a page, make it private, and invite people by email on the free path.
