Saved website passwords in Safari on Mac: how to view

How to make a website (or message) that is placed in your own link

10/07/2020 by ALOK DAS

Question: if you want to quickly create a website from one page, how to do it? You can use a service like Tumblr or register a domain name, find a host and much more. But what if you could just take and create a web page and then pack it into a link? Whenever someone clicks on a link, the site will unzip itself and appear in the browser like a regular page. All this became possible with the Itty Bitty service.

♥ BY TOPIC: How to link to specific text posted on a site page in Chrome: 2 ways.

The user can paste the link anywhere, for example, into a message on Twitter, or turn it into a QR code and print it. A similar QR code will contain the entire website. Whenever someone scans it, the site will be displayed without even requiring an internet connection.

♥ BY TOPIC: What QR codes does the iPhone camera read since iOS 11: 10 examples of use.

Itty Bitty Sites

Itty Bitty is a project of Nicholas Zhitkof, also known under the pseudonym Alcor. Zhitkof is the creator of the Quicksilver app and vice president of design for Dropbox. Itty Bitty consists of a web editor that allows you to enter anything you want. This can be a poem, resume, or a fully encoded image page. After creating the site, you just need to copy the URL from the address bar in Safari. Then the link can be shared.

The difference is that the created site is contained right inside the URL. This is not an ordinary link that redirects to a site hosted somewhere on the Internet. The created site is completely autonomous.

However, this method of creating sites has certain limitations, in particular, the small page size. The Itty Bitty editor minimizes the amount of text entered. Twitter has a limit on the message size of just over 4 thousand bytes. A QR code can store a maximum of 2610 bytes. However, this space is enough if you use only text.

“To fit in a URL, content is compressed using the LZMA algorithm. This significantly reduces the size of HTML, allowing you to place the order of one printed page, ”said Zhitkof.

How to create an Itty Bitty webpage

In order to create a website, go to the editor and get started. You can give your page a title and write anything using HTML. More advanced users can use third-party editors such as Codepen.io to create.

The editor has a counter in the upper right corner that reports the page size in bytes. For maximum compatibility, it is better not to exceed a size of 2 thousand bytes.

After editing, just copy the URL from Safari (or any other browser) and paste the address into a new tab. You can also click the button “Refresh the page” and the site will load itself (it is contained in its own link). However, this makes returning to the editor and fixing errors difficult.

♥ BY TOPIC: Shortened links, or how to get a short URL: 10 best services.

Complex code

The user is not limited to basic HTML. For example, Itty Bitty has a built-in application. “Calculator”.

Without Internet!

The Itty Bitty website is completely autonomous. The URL may begin with itty.bitty.site, however this does not mean that it is downloaded from Itty Bitty servers. This can be verified by scanning the QR code containing the page. If you enable airplane mode on your iPhone and then scan the Itty Bitty QR code, it will still load.

This approach is known as the Data URL, but Zhitkof emphasizes some of the distinguishing features of his service:

“Most tools do not treat Data URLs as valid links, and therefore it’s much more difficult to share them safely. “Data URLs do not support compression, so the size of the content becomes a problem.”

♥ BY TOPIC: Why do not birds shock on wires.

Safety

The obvious drawback of the service is security. Using a similar site, you can distribute malware using only a QR code. Maybe Itty Bitty will eventually become a big dump of malware, or maybe not. At the same time, this is a great way to share small pieces of information.
