Miniup gets your project online fast. Upload HTML/ZIP to publish a static site, then upload a CSV/Excel to instantly generate a REST API your page can call.Imagine static site with dynamic data. Site and data is editable after publish. No repo, no build setup, no backend. Includes OpenAPI docs, HTTPS, optional password protection, and write-key controls (rotate keys, toggle methods). Great for demos, micro-tools, and school projects. (https://www.miniup.io/)
I built Miniup to scratch a specific itch: sometimes I just want to upload a file and share a link, without repos, build steps, or setting up infrastructure.
A lot of “instant hosting” tools work for simple pages, but they usually hit one of two walls for me: free plans cap how many projects you can create, and most of them don’t give you a quick way to turn a spreadsheet into a real API. My AI-generated HTML pages are usually under 1MB, but many demos still need live data and API calls.
I kept running into the same two problems:
I needed a fast way to share small HTML prototypes (often AI-generated) as a real link.
I needed a real backend for demos, but I only had a spreadsheet.
Miniup solves both in one flow: publish a static site from HTML/ZIP/folder, then upload a CSV/Excel to instantly get a REST API your frontend can call. It auto-generates OpenAPI docs, and if you need write access you can issue a write key, rotate it anytime, and toggle methods per table.
If you try it, I would love your feedback for improvement.
