Create and share a website

Small interactive experiences, public links, and how long they last.

Ask Buddy to make a small interactive experience that someone can open in a browser: a game, a guide, a calculator, or another useful page. Tell him what visitors should be able to do.

Make a packing checklist for our camping weekend that I can share with the group.

Each person can check off their own list in their browser. This example doesn't give the group one list of checkmarks that updates for everyone.

He can also make an illustrated storybook with pages you can turn in a browser. Tell him who it's for, the kind of story you'd like, and any details you want included. Ask for a file to keep, or a live page to share.

When Buddy publishes the page, he returns a shareable link. Treat it as public, not as a private account document. Keep personal or confidential information out of a page you publish.

You can ask for the source file too. Making a file and publishing it are different actions, so say when you only want a file to review first.

How long it stays available

A published page is available for 72 hours. If you want it to stay up, just ask Buddy to keep it live. Each account can keep up to ten sites live at a time.

Keeping sites live requires continued paid access to Buddy. If that access ends, those sites are taken offline. Requesting cancellation and reaching the end of your paid access aren't necessarily the same moment.

You can ask Buddy which sites you have, release one you no longer need to keep live, or bring back an expired page. Restoration can require the original file if the published copy is no longer available. A restored page keeps its URL and starts another 72-hour period.

What these pages can do

These are small experiences that work in the visitor's browser. They aren't a way to run an online store, collect form submissions, or connect a new service to a private account. Ask Buddy if you're unsure whether an idea fits.

A page can save a visitor's progress locally in that browser. That doesn't create shared group progress, account storage, or automatic syncing to another device. For a checklist, each person's checks can be their own.

If you need a document rather than a public page, ask for a file.
