Sharing projects

Hello Everyone,

Working on any website project to sharpen the skills I always run into the same problem where I want to share my work for critique but it's hard to share the workspaces url so other people can see it. I tried it once here and it worked fairly well, however, when I tried to share it with other friends or web designers they aren't always able to access it.

Is there a way that I can share a project so people can access it and see it like we do in workspaces? I figured that buying domain space would work but I didn't want to do that if there was another option. I would rather buy the domain space later when I have more of a portfolio to show off.

Thank you for the help!

Git Hub is a great place for sharing completed projects. So I support t the suggestion.

If you are programming in HTML, CSS and JavaScript then Code Pen is a good site for sharing and show casing. Plus it provides an editor that will not only preview the result, but will do so in realtime as you make changes. I am using it currently for sharing design ideas for my website. I now use it for prototyping and experimenting ideas, because its editor is so convenient and I can watch what I am doing as I am doing it.

If you are looking to host and not pay money, as it's a showcase things, there is Heroku, which is where I host my Ruby on Rails site. I don't have to pay anything. Heroku supports Node.js, Ruby, Java, PHP, Python, Go, Scala and Clojure. It is another option at least.

Hello Bryn,

Thanks for the great answer!

I definitely still plan to learn Git Hub, but it's good to know the other options.

Hi Roberto Rivera

What you may want to do is download your Workspace files to your computer, and then upload them to a github repo—allowing you to easily share it with others.

If you're not familiar with Github, I highly recommend you check out our course Github Basics.
