Free Forever for Open Source

The free tier includes 75 hours per month with no credit card. Open source demos that auto-sleep when idle consume very few hours — host multiple demos at zero cost.

How It Works

Add a Live Demo to Your Project

1

Create a Demo App

Sign up for free and create an app named after your project. Push your example code or build a demo from scratch in the browser.

2

Connect Your GitHub Repo

Set up a Git remote so your demo stays in sync with your main repository. Push to WebSlop and it redeploys automatically.

3

Enable Remixing

Turn on remixing so anyone can fork your demo with one click. Users get their own editable copy to experiment with.

4

Link from Your README

Add the live demo URL to your project README, docs, and website. Users can try your project before they npm install.

Free for Open Source Demos

Most open source demos fit easily in the free tier. Auto-sleep means your demo only consumes hours when someone is actively using it. If your project gets heavy traffic and needs always-on hosting, the Glitch plan ($8/mo) adds 500 hours and an always-on slot.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I host an interactive demo of my open source project for free?▾
Yes. The free tier includes 75 compute hours per month, a browser editor, and a live URL at yourproject.webslop.ai. Since demos auto-sleep when idle, most open source projects consume very few hours.
Can users remix or fork my demo project?▾
Yes. Enable remixing on your project and anyone can create their own copy with one click. They get a separate app with its own URL, editor, and environment — perfect for letting users experiment.
How do I keep my WebSlop demo in sync with my GitHub repo?▾
Set your GitHub repository as a Git remote on your WebSlop app. You can push to WebSlop directly, or set up a simple GitHub Action to auto-deploy on push to main.
Can contributors edit code without cloning the repo locally?▾
Yes. Contributors can remix your project and make changes in the browser-based Monaco editor. They can then export their changes as a Git patch or push to their own fork.
Does WebSlop support monorepo example apps?▾
WebSlop runs a single Node.js app per project. For monorepo libraries, create a separate WebSlop app for each example or demo you want to host, each with its own subdomain and environment.
