Copy that share link and paste it into the Beaker Browser. Share that URL with anyone running Beaker Browser and they'll see this website hosted from your computer!

Now let's try out being a peer host to improve availability when my other computer shuts down. Click on the site menu and click "View Site Files"...

Now click on the "Host" button...

Now we're hosting that site from the Beaker Browser and our friends can too!

Anyone can fork this site to their own site and make modifications using the fork button.

And there is more! See https://beakerbrowser.com/.
