Hello everyone, we all come up with a situation where we need to send a message via whatsapp for onetime. The main prerequisite is to save the number in contacts first then we used to send a message. Often it is frustrating to save in contact for just one time message.

So I was searching online how to do this without saving a number in contacts. I got some info on whatsapp APIs and its like more of typing a URL and add phonenumber to it. But saving a phonenumber is easier than typing a url with new number everytime.

So I made a small hack to it and deployed in github pages. All you need to do is go to this url and give phone number and message and click on the Button.

Now your whatsapp will automatically open chat with given phone number and message.

Hope you will like it.

Note: Give the phone number with country code.

Nowadays website for personal and portfolio became quite common. Its became a digital identity in the digital world. So getting up a personal website its a not big deal when we have numerous ready-made templates available over the internet with free of cost.

In this article, we are using Github pages to build a static website. Github pages provide us free hosting and no need to pay anything. And it is a free code repository for private and public repositories.

All you need to do is get the website template based on the available free themes and host them on Github.

For this article, I am using this template which is free. You can select any kind of template from the site.

Download template to your local system. This contains all the HTML code necessary for a website. This all code is static which means there is no server-side code like PHP etc.

Now open an account in Github if not there earlier.

Then create a public repository with name as githubusername.github.io

Now extract the ZIP file from the downloaded theme.

Upload all the code in that ZIP file folder to the created public repository. (Drag all the content of all the files into the Github repository ).

Now go to the repository and check index file is available.

Now click on Settings tab of the repository.

Scroll down to the GitHub pages section and selects master from the dropdown Source .
After you selected master from the dropdown you will find the link above , which is the link for your website.
Its something like https://github_username.github.io/. For instance ., if my username is nyalla then my website will be https://nyalla.github.io

If you click on that link you can navigate to the website which you created just now with Github pages and free themes.

To customize it further you can edit the HTML files and keep your names and further modifications.

We can also directly generate the websites based on the Jekyll themes from the GitHub pages section.
