The concept is ridiculously simple. 99% of things people are making today only see a small handful of users (family, friends, co-workers, beta testers, etc.). So why start with an approach that's built around broadcasting to thousands?

Seamside is a new platform that securely hosts content directly from your own device(s), making it completely free. And you can always migrate to a traditional server later on if/when you actually need to scale up. More info in the about page and user docs.

Happy to answer any questions.
