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 (request access)
  • 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. Request access on the project Domains tab, then CNAME to cname.aft.page. HTTPS issues from there. The *.aft.page 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.
