Show HN: Pageplane – Copy and Paste Deployments for HTML Apps

1 points by christoff12 a month ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

Howdy HN,

I built Pageplane (https://pageplane.app) to solve a workflow problem I kept running into: generating single-file HTML apps with LLMs (following Simon Willison's "HTML tools" pattern), but deploying them still required the friction of creating repos, configuring build steps, waiting for CI/CD.

So I made CI/PD instead (Copy It & Paste Deployments, lol).

Pageplane strips it down to copy HTML → paste → deploy. Takes about 30 seconds.

I kept it boring on purpose: - Python/Flask on Fly.io - SQLite (read-heavy workload, no separate DB server needed) - Cloudflare R2 for storage (S3-compatible, zero egress fees)

I also published a short backstory[1] as a concrete example that’s hosted on Pageplane and uses Flatcontent[2], a small markdown-to-JSON tool I built to keep the site single-file.
