What if your computer had an internet folder, where each subfolder would be mapped to a subdomains?

Smallweb is a new take on self-hosting. The goal is to make it as easy as possible to host your own apps. To achieve this, it uses a "file-based hosting" approach: every subfolder in your smallweb folder becomes a unique subdomain.

Smallweb makes creating a new website as simple as running `mkdir` and creating a few files. Instead of learning with a clunky REST API, you can use the unix tools you already know and love to manage your websites.
