Details
Carrd lets you build simple, responsive one-page sites in minutes. Perfect for landing pages, portfolios, and link-in-bio pages.
Built by solo founder AJ, bootstrapped to $1.5M ARR with over 3.3M sites created. The definition of doing one thing well.
Deno Deploy hosts JavaScript and TypeScript applications on Deno’s runtime, which Deno says has full Node and npm compatibility. Connect a GitHub repository and each push deploys automatically, with support for most popular frameworks. You can link an existing Postgres database or provision one from the dashboard, and the built-in Deno KV store gives you persistent data without a separate database.
The current platform, at console.deno.com, replaced Deno Deploy Classic, which shut down on 20 July 2026. The free tier includes 1 million requests and 20 GiB of egress a month. Pro costs $20 a month for 5 million requests, then $2 per extra million, and Builder costs $200 a month. If your stack is TypeScript-first and you want serverless hosting with little configuration, Deno Deploy fits. If you need other runtimes, Fly.io is a safer bet.
