GitHub Pages and Vercel both host static sites — Pages is git-driven and free, Vercel adds builds, previews, and edge.

Where drop fits
Both are great for whole sites. For a single private, password-protected artifact on your own domain in one command, drop is lighter — object storage behind an edge proxy, no build, no repo.
FAQ
Is it really open-source and self-hosted?
Yes — MIT licensed, and it runs on your own Vercel Blob + domain. No third party ever holds your content (it's encrypted client-side) or controls your URL.
Is it zero-knowledge?
Locked drops are AES-256 encrypted in the browser via StatiCrypt before upload. The server stores only ciphertext — never your content or password.
