How to Build an Internal Tool Using Tiiny Host

Tiiny Host — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 04:06:39 +0000

Tiiny Host's new Create feature turns a spoken description into a working drag-and-drop weekly planner, complete with a live completion percentage, a calendar view and one-click hosting, all without writing a line of code.

Most of us have a graveyard of half-used productivity apps. One was too bloated, another hid the single feature you cared about behind a subscription, and the rest quietly faded into a notes app, a WhatsApp chat to yourself, or a sticky note that peeled off the monitor. The creator behind this video reached the same breaking point and decided to stop shopping for the perfect to-do app and simply build one.

The tool they used is Tiiny Host Create, the newest addition to Tiiny Host (spelled with two i's). It is an AI platform that can generate apps, websites and internal tools from a plain-language description. This walkthrough focuses specifically on the Internal Tools option and builds a practical example from start to finish: a weekly planner where you can drag tasks between days, tick them off, watch a progress percentage update, and flip to a calendar view. By the end, the finished tool is live on the web with password protection, and you can replicate the whole thing for free.

Here is everything that happens in the video, with the reasoning behind each step and some practical pointers along the way.

What Tiiny Host Create Is and Where Internal Tools Fit

When you land on Tiiny Host, you have two main paths: Manage, which is the familiar hosting dashboard, and Create, which is the new AI builder. Clicking Create and scrolling down reveals a set of starting points. You can build a portfolio, a business website or a personal website. You can also generate a sales proposal, build an internal tool, or simply describe whatever you want in free-form text.

The video zeroes in on Internal Tools, which the creator describes as the custom part of Tiiny Host Create. The distinction matters. A portfolio or business site is primarily about presentation; an internal tool is about function. It is something you or your team actually interact with: trackers, planners, calculators, small dashboards. If you have ever thought "I wish there were a simple app that just did X," this is the section designed for that.

Choosing Internal Tools brings you to a single, important field: "What does the tool do?" Everything the AI builds flows from what you type here, so it pays to get it right.

The Trick: Let Another AI Write Your Prompt

This is the cleverest part of the workflow, and it is worth adopting for any AI builder, not just Tiiny Host.

Rather than typing a long, carefully structured description into the "What does the tool do?" box, the creator opens Claude and asks it to write a prompt intended for another AI platform. Even better, they do not type the request at all. They press the dictate button and simply talk through what they want the planner to do, in natural conversational language. Once they are done speaking, they click the tick, hit enter, and let Claude turn that rambling spoken description into a clean, well-organised prompt.

Why go through an extra step? Two reasons:

Speed. Talking is faster than typing, and you naturally include details and preferences when you speak freely that you might forget when staring at a blank text box.
Quality. A general-purpose assistant like Claude is good at taking a loose idea and structuring it into clear requirements: the layout, the behaviours, the data that needs to be tracked. A builder AI tends to produce better results when the brief it receives is precise.

When Claude finishes, the creator clicks the two-squares icon to copy the prompt, heads back to Tiiny Host, and pastes it into the "What does the tool do?" field. That is the entire prompt-writing process. No wrestling with wording, no second-guessing whether you have described things well enough.

Practical tip: When you dictate, mention how you actually use your week. Do you plan Monday to Sunday? Do you want to see upcoming items? Do you care about a progress number? The more of your real habits make it into the spoken description, the more the finished tool will feel like it was made for you, because it was.

Related Files, Submitting and Answering Clarifying Questions

Below the main description there is a Related Files area. This is where you can upload a logo, images or any other files relevant to your project. For a personal planner it is optional, but if you are building something for a team or a brand, dropping a logo in here is how you keep the output on-brand without extra editing.

After clicking Submit, Tiiny Host does not immediately start generating. Instead it asks a series of clarifying questions. The creator deliberately works through these rather than skipping them, and explains why: the questions exist so the AI can build the app in the best possible way for your specific needs. Skipping them means the AI fills in the gaps with assumptions, and assumptions are where tools end up slightly wrong.

Once the questions are answered, you press Review and Generate. The generation happens in real time, so you can watch the internal tool take shape on screen as it is built. It is a satisfying moment, and it also gives you an early sense of whether the layout matches what you had in mind.

Testing the Weekly Planner

The generated application lands with a clear structure: every day of the week laid out from Monday through Sunday, plus three summary areas at a glance: tasks completed this week, weekly progress and upcoming events.

The creator puts it through its paces with everyday examples:

Adding tasks. On Monday, they add "laundry". On Friday, they add a reminder to pay bills. These are deliberately mundane; this is a tool for real life, not a demo full of made-up corporate jargon.
Seeing today. Because the video is recorded on a Tuesday, the planner clearly shows that Tuesday is the current day, which helps you orient yourself immediately when you open it.
Dragging tasks between days. The creator asks on camera, "Can we drag this?" and the answer is yes. Tasks move cleanly from one day to another, so if laundry slips from Monday to Wednesday, you drag it rather than delete and re-create it.
Completing tasks. Ticking a task marks it complete, and it stays in place rather than vanishing, so you keep a visual record of what you got done.

The reason the completion percentage is genuinely useful is that it is tied to all of this. "Completed this week" updates when you tick items off. "Weekly progress" adds up every task across the whole week and shows what percentage is done. Because dragging a task to another day keeps it within the week, the percentage stays accurate as you reshuffle your plans. Move things around, tick them off, and the number responds instantly.

Finally, clicking Calendar switches to a calendar view where everything you have added appears in one place. For people who think in weeks but occasionally need the month-level picture, having both views in a tool this small is a nice touch.

Checking Desktop, Tablet and Mobile Before You Accept

One detail that is easy to overlook: Tiiny Host does not just produce a desktop page. The creator shows that it has also generated a mobile version and a tablet version of the planner. You can preview each one before deciding whether to keep the build.

This matters more for an internal tool than for almost any other kind of page. A weekly planner is exactly the sort of thing you will pull up on your phone while standing in a queue or sitting on the sofa. If the drag-and-drop felt clunky on a small screen, the tool would quietly fall out of use within a week, just like the apps it was meant to replace.

At this stage you have two choices. If something is not right, you can request changes and regenerate from the same screen. If you are happy, you accept. In the video, the creator is satisfied with the result and accepts, which publishes the website.

Practical tip: Actually test the interactions on the mobile preview, not just the look. Try adding a task and dragging it. The layout can look fine while the behaviour needs tweaking, and this is the cheapest point at which to fix it.

Copying the HTML and Hosting It Live

Accepting the build gives you access to the underlying code. The creator selects the HTML code option and copies all of it. This is the step that makes the whole process portable: the planner is now just a chunk of HTML you own, not something locked inside a builder.

From there, if you have a Tiiny Host account, hosting is a short sequence:

Go to your account and click the small triangle next to the Upload button.
Choose the option to paste HTML.
Paste in the code you copied from Create.
Give the project a name. In the video, the creator calls it "Logger".

Before publishing, Tiiny Host offers some restriction options, and the video demonstrates two:

Password protection. If you do not want the tool openly accessible, add a password. The creator uses "test1234" as a throwaway example. For a personal planner this keeps your to-do list private even though it technically lives on a public URL.
Email capture. This flips the use case around. Anyone you send the link to has to enter their email address before they can view the tool, and you keep that address for a mailing list. If you ever decided to share a template or a tool with an audience, this turns a simple HTML page into a lead-collection mechanism.

With the settings chosen, the creator clicks Publish, and within a few seconds the app is live. The entire journey, from a spoken description to a hosted, password-protected planner, fits comfortably inside a few minutes.

Why This Approach Beats Searching for the "Perfect" App

Stepping back, the appeal of this workflow is not really about any single feature. It is about a change in default behaviour. Instead of auditioning a dozen apps and compromising on the one that annoys you least, you describe exactly what you want and get that, nothing more and nothing less.

A few things make this particularly practical:

No code required. Every step in the video is clicking, talking or pasting. The HTML is there if you want to look at it, but you never have to.
No subscription for the tool itself. The planner is a page you host, not a service you rent.
Fast iteration. If the first version is not right, the regenerate option means you adjust and rebuild rather than start from scratch.
Your tool, your rules. Because you wrote (or dictated) the brief, the planner reflects how your week actually works, not how a product manager imagined a generic user's week.

Key Takeaways

Tiiny Host Create is Tiiny Host's new AI builder. Pick Create instead of Manage, then choose Internal Tools for anything functional like planners, trackers or small dashboards.
Do not write the prompt by hand. Dictate your idea to Claude, ask it to produce a prompt for another AI platform, copy the result and paste it into "What does the tool do?"
Answer the clarifying questions. They are how the AI avoids guessing, and they directly shape how well the finished tool matches your intent.
Test the behaviours, not just the look. Add tasks, drag them between days, tick them off, and confirm the weekly progress percentage updates. Check the mobile and tablet previews before accepting.
Hosting is a paste job. Copy the HTML, use the triangle next to Upload in your Tiiny Host account, paste it in, name it, and optionally add password protection or email capture before you hit Publish.

If you have been carrying around a vague "I wish this existed" feeling about some small tool, this video is a convincing case that it can exist by the end of your coffee break. Build the weekly planner first, exactly as shown, and then start thinking about what else in your day deserves a tool made just for you.

Building an Asana Style App Using Claude

Tiiny Host — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:14:19 +0000

One plain-English prompt in Claude, a single HTML file and a free Tiiny Host link replaced a project management subscription that wanted around a tenner per person, per month.

If you've ever looked at your project management bill and wondered why you're paying per seat for what is, underneath it all, a list of tasks you drag between columns, this walkthrough is for you.

In the video, the whole thing is built from scratch in a few minutes: an Asana-style app with a List view, a drag-and-drop Board, a Calendar and a Gantt-style Timeline. Claude generates it from one sentence, then it goes live on Tiiny Host so it has a real link you can open on your phone or send to a business partner.

There's no code to write, no subscription to renew and no monthly bill. Here's exactly how it was done, including the prompt word for word, the one bug that came back and how it was fixed, and the optional extra step that turns the app into something that actually saves data for a team.

Why "HTML only" is the phrase that matters

The entire build hinges on one prompt typed into Claude:

"Please create an HTML-only app in the style of Asana that I can use to manage projects and track specific campaigns and tasks. Make it support drag and drop and work just like Asana."

The important bit is "HTML only". That instruction tells Claude to keep everything, the layout, the styling and all the interactive behaviour, inside a single file.

There's no build step, no framework to install, no folder of dependencies and nothing to configure. One file means you can open it in a browser straight away, download it in one click and upload it anywhere in one drag. As the video puts it, the whole reason for choosing HTML only is to make the app easy to run and easy to create.

Before hitting enter, the video also picks the strongest model option available so the result is as polished as possible. That's a good habit for any "vibe coding" session: when you're asking an AI to produce a complete working application rather than a snippet, give it the most capable model you have access to and let it take its time.

What Claude handed back, and the one thing wrong with it

Claude took a little while and then returned a complete HTML file. Clicking through it, the first impression is strong, but not flawless, and the video is honest about that.

On the home page, the "My Tasks" section had overlapping text, so it looked cluttered and a bit messy. The Projects section, by contrast, had a clean design. So the problem was clearly isolated to the home page rather than anything structural.

According to the video description, the finished app also includes a List view, a Calendar that updates due dates as you drag items around, and a Gantt-style Timeline where you can stretch a bar to move a deadline, plus task details with assignees, subtasks and comments.

The lesson here is that a first pass from an AI will usually get you most of the way, and your job is to test it like a user would: click into things, drag things, tick things off. The fix is only ever one message away.

The thirty-second fix: describe the problem, get the solution

Rather than typing out a detailed bug report, the video uses a voice note to send feedback to Claude. The message was roughly:

"Everything works great. The only issue is on the app's home page, where there's a lot of overlapping text in the My Tasks section and the text in the Projects area generally looks untidy. If we can clean up the home page, we're all set."

That's the whole fix. No CSS, no inspecting elements, no hunting for the offending line. Describe what's wrong in plain English, say where it is, and let Claude do the work.

When the updated file came back, the home page was clean and tidy, drag and drop still worked, tasks could still be checked off, and the app was exactly what was wanted.

A practical tip from this step: tell the AI what's working as well as what isn't. Opening with "everything works great, the only issue is…" keeps Claude focused on the one area that needs attention instead of rewriting parts that were already fine.

Getting the app live on Tiiny Host

At this point the app exists only inside Claude, which means nobody else can use it. You can't share it with your team or send it to a client. The next step is to download the file, which is called index.html, and head to Tiiny Host.

The video describes Tiiny Host as being a bit like Google Drive but with more features, and far easier to understand than platforms such as Netlify or Cloudflare. The process is genuinely simple:

Upload the file. Drag index.html onto the page. Many other hosts insist that your file is named index.html before they'll serve it. Tiiny Host doesn't have that restriction, so whatever Claude names the file, it will just work.
Name the project. In the video it's called "Project Tracker". This becomes part of your link.
Add a password (optional). Because this is an internal tool, the video adds password protection so strangers can't stumble across the board, using "test123" as a demo password. For a team task tracker, this is a sensible default.
Consider email collection. Tiiny Host also lets you add an email capture step. The video notes this is a great option if you're building a demo app and want to grow a mailing list at the same time.
Hit publish. The site goes live in seconds, literally while the presenter is still talking.

Click the link, enter the password, and the Asana-style app is officially open for business. Anyone with the link can get in, add tasks, move cards and update progress.

How the shared version works, and what it saves you

It's worth being clear about what you get at this stage. Everyone who opens the link is working in the same shared workspace, effectively one account for the whole team.

The video points out that this alone saves a lot in subscription costs, because you're no longer paying per person for a general-purpose project tracker. For a small team or a single project, a shared board like this is often all you need.

If you want to assign tasks to specific people and notify them, the video notes that's an easy feature to add with another prompt. And if you want to go further, with your own database and a proper login system, there's a recommended route for that too.

Optional: making the app save data with Supabase

For a tool that remembers your tasks properly and supports user accounts, the video recommends Supabase. It gives you a database, authentication, APIs, serverless functions and file storage under one account. The steps shown are:

Sign in to Supabase and open your organisation (the video uses a demo organisation), then create a new project or resume an existing one.
Copy the project URL. Paste it into Claude and label it as the project URL.
Get the anon key. In Supabase, go to Project Settings, then API Keys, and copy the top anon key. Paste that into Claude as well.
Send a prompt along the lines of: "I want to make the app able to save data. Below are the Supabase details to set that up."
Run the SQL Claude gives you. Claude will ask you to add a block of SQL code. Open the SQL editor in Supabase, paste it in, hit run and make sure you see the success message.
Re-upload the updated file. Download the new version of the HTML file from Claude and upload it to Tiiny Host using the update section of your existing project. Open the link again and your app now persists its data.

The video stresses that all of this can be done in minutes, and it's the same pattern as before: hand Claude the relevant details, let it generate what's needed, and move the output to where it belongs.

Practical tips for your own build

A few things from the video that are worth carrying into any project like this:

Be specific about the reference. Saying "in the style of Asana" and "work just like Asana" gave Claude a clear target for layout, task details and board behaviour.
Name the interactions you care about. Drag and drop was explicitly requested, and it worked first time. If you want a calendar or timeline, say so.
Test before you ship. Click into tasks, tick them off, drag cards, check every page. Catching the untidy home page before publishing meant the shared link was clean from day one.
Lock it down. A password on Tiiny Host takes seconds and keeps an internal tool internal.
Iterate in place. Updates go through Tiiny Host's update section, so your link stays the same while the app improves.

The takeaway

For the cost of one well-worded prompt and a few minutes of testing, the video ends with a fully working Asana-style project manager: list, board, calendar and timeline views, task details with assignees, subtasks and comments, drag and drop that behaves the way you'd expect, and a real, password-protected link anyone on the team can open.

The HTML-only approach is what makes the whole thing so portable, and Tiiny Host is what turns a file on your computer into something you can actually share.

If you need persistence and logins, Supabase slots in with a couple more prompts. Whether you've never written a line of code or you're simply tired of paying per seat for a task board you could own outright, this is a clear demonstration of how "I wish this existed" becomes something you use every day.

Building an Asana-Style Project Management App Using Claude

Tiiny Host — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 16:36:20 +0000

One plain-English prompt in Claude, a single HTML file and a free Tiiny Host link replaced a project management subscription that wanted around a tenner per person, per month.

So the problem was clearly isolated to the home page rather than anything structural.

Everything else worked. In the My Tasks area, tasks could be ticked off as complete. Clicking a task opened a detail view that looked just like the one in Asana. Moving over to the Board view, drag and drop worked exactly as asked, with cards moving smoothly between columns. According to the video description, the finished app also includes a List view, a Calendar that updates due dates as you drag items around, and a Gantt-style Timeline where you can stretch a bar to move a deadline, plus task details with assignees, subtasks and comments.

What Each Platform Is Designed For

Tiiny.host – Simple, instant publishing for creators, teams and businesses

Tiiny.host focuses on speed, simplicity, and sharing. You can publish landing pages, HTML projects, PDF documents, ZIP websites, prototypes, portfolios, client previews and marketing assets in seconds, without setup.

Tiiny.host is ideal for people who want a platform that “just works,” and includes built‑in tools to help them collaborate, gather feedback and share professionally.

Static.app – A developer‑leaning static site host

Static.app provides a classic developer‑oriented experience. It includes a built‑in HTML/CSS/JS editor, simple static form handling, a file manager with media storage, free SSL, and hosting for small static sites.

Static.app is a good fit for users who want to work directly in HTML and don’t require advanced sharing or collaboration features.

Instant Publishing & Ease of Use

Tiiny.host: Publish anything in seconds

Tiiny.host is built to eliminate friction:

Drag & drop a file or ZIP.
Name your project.
Click Upload.

Your project is instantly live. No configuration, no learning curve, no code editor required. You can also edit content directly on the platform (HTML and PDF editing on Solo+ plans, turn on password protection instantly, share via a link or automatically generated QR code, and add a custom domain on paid plans.

This makes Tiiny.host perfect for creators, marketers, freelancers, students and teams who want fast turnaround with minimal steps.

Static.app: Great for developers, but more steps overall

Static.app also supports drag‑and‑drop uploads, but editing requires using the built‑in code editor. Forms require adding a static-form attribute, and managing multiple files means navigating the file manager.

If you enjoy editing HTML directly in the dashboard, Static.app fits well. If you prefer a smoother, no‑code experience, Tiiny.host is significantly simpler.

Free Plan Comparison

Feature	Tiiny.host Free	Static.app Free
Active sites	1	1
Upload limit	3 MB (0.5 MB PDFs)	50 MB total storage
Branding	Tiiny.host banner	Static.app banner
Analytics	No (analytics on Tiny+)	No (analytics on paid plans)
Hosting time	Indefinite as long as you log into your account monthly	7‑day trial

Static.app’s free tier offers more storage but is limited to 7 days. Tiiny.host’s free tier is designed for lightweight demos, portfolio samples and simple shareable links; links stay online indefinitely provided you log in once every 3 months.

Paid Plan Comparison

Below is and overview of features from the official pricing pages.

Where Static.app performs well

Static.app offers:

More total storage at lower plan tiers – the Starter plan includes 500 MB of storage and the Medium plan 3 GB. Tiiny.host’s Tiny and Solo plans allow 25 MB and 75 MB uploads respectively.
Built‑in forms – you can collect submissions by adding a static-form attribute to your HTML forms.
A code editor – changes can be made directly in the dashboard, which is convenient for developers.
Unlimited traffic on paid plans – Static.app explicitly states that traffic is unlimited.

These are solid developer‑friendly features. If you need large storage on a low‑cost plan and enjoy working directly with code, Static.app may be the better choice.

Where Tiiny.host overperforms Static.app

This is where the difference becomes clear – and where Static.app’s own comparison didn’t reflect Tiiny.host’s actual capabilities.

Edit mode (HTML, PDFs, text)

Tiiny.host lets you edit content right on the site, including HTML and PDFs, on Solo and Pro plans. Static.app only allows HTML/CSS editing in its code editor and cannot edit PDFs.

Password protection (instant toggle)

Tiiny.host provides one‑click password protection with no configuration. Static.app does not offer password‑protected sharing – its “private” setting means only you (when logged in) can see the page.

Link tracking (Solo plan and above)

Tiiny.host includes built‑in link tracking, letting you see page views and traffic sources. Static.app includes analytics but no link tracking.

QR code generation

Both platforms now generate QR codes automatically. Tiiny.host has offered this for years, and Static.app’s pricing page shows the feature on all plans.

Email capture (Pro plan)

Tiiny.host allows simple, elegant email‑gated content (e.g., lead magnet PDFs). Static.app’s forms can collect data, but they do not gate downloads behind email submission.

Feedback mode (Pro plan)

Tiiny.host includes a built‑in feedback tool that lets viewers leave comments on your project. Static.app offers no equivalent feature.

Team collaboration

Tiiny.host’s Pro plan lets you add team members. Static.app does not support multi‑user collaboration.

Massive upload limits (10 GB to 2 TB)

Tiiny.host supports 10 GB uploads on the Pro plan and up to 2 TB of storage on the Pro Max plan. Static.app caps individual files at 200 MB across all plans.

Large file hosting (Pro Max plan)

Tiiny.host’s Large File Hosting is built for 1 GB+ files – something Static.app cannot support due to its 200 MB per file limit.

Professional, polished sharing features

Every Tiiny.host project includes link sharing, QR code, optional custom domain, polished landing presentation, clean fallback page, optional password protection, link tracking and analytics. These features reflect Tiiny.host’s focus on the creator - upload - share - feedback loop, not just developer hosting.

So… Which Platform Is Actually Better?

Static.app wins for developers who want an integrated code editor, simple HTML forms, and generous storage on entry‑level plans. It’s ideal for small, code‑driven static websites that don’t need advanced sharing or collaboration features.

Tiiny.host wins for creators, freelancers, marketers, educators, agencies and teams – anyone needing to publish fast and share with polish.

Tiiny.host performs significantly better in ease of use, collaboration, editing flexibility, large file support, password protection, email capture, link tracking and overall sharing experience.

Static.app is a good static host, but Tiiny.host is a publishing platform built for real‑world sharing, workflows and collaboration.

Final Verdict

Both platforms have their strengths, but Tiiny.host offers a far more complete feature set for modern creators and teams.

If your goal is to ship projects fast, collaborate easily, host large files, protect your work, capture leads, share professionally and publish without friction, then Tiiny.host provides more value, more flexibility and more power – all while staying beautifully simple.

Static vs Dynamic Websites

Tiiny Host — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 15:58:42 +0000

When talking of websites, you must remember that websites are of two types. One is a static website, and the other is a dynamic website.

It depends upon you and your necessities to go with any one of them.

Both static and dynamic have their benefits and disadvantages.

If you want games and attractive elements on your website, you may go with a dynamic website. But do remember that you'll face some cons too.

Likewise, a static website would be great if you need a few pages on your website with permanent content (which requires no changes). However, you'll go through some issues here as well.
