Usually,when we complete our project and we want to share it with others but some people that are not arround us they can't see the output of our project,this is when Netlify comes in use.
We can deploy our project on Netlify and get a direct link/URL of our project.You may think that github is also doing the same thing so that the people from various regions can view our project but this is different on github if they want to view the output they can't but with the URL we got from Netlify.com they can easily view the output and can give their feedback.
