GitHub Pages publishes static sites, but private hosting needs Enterprise and there's no password or per-page encryption.

Where drop differs from GitHub Pages (private)
Pages has no password gate, no client-side encryption, and a publish-per-commit flow. drop is one command, password-protected and zero-knowledge, no repo required.
1
Drop it
drop file.html — or a PDF, markdown, image, or any file — from your terminal or any AI agent.
2
Branded & encrypted
Your logo, OG card, and badge are baked in, then it's AES-256 encrypted client-side behind your unlock gate.
3
Live on your domain
Uploaded to your Vercel Blob and served at yourdomain.com/slug. URL + password on your clipboard.
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.
