How to Publish Your VisualNEO Web Apps for Free with Netlify Drop

If you’re looking for an easy and completely free way to publish your VisualNEO Web applications, Netlify Drop is an excellent option. This tool allows you to deploy static websites or web applications in seconds, simply by dragging and dropping your compiled project folder into their interface.

Here’s how you can publish your VisualNEO Web app with Netlify Drop:


Step 1: Compile Your Application

Before you start, make sure your VisualNEO Web project is compiled. Ensure all the necessary files (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and assets like images) are in a single folder. Note: Netlify Drop only supports static files, so avoid using server-side scripts like PHP in your project.


Step 2: Go to Netlify Drop

Visit Netlify Drop. You don’t need to create an account, but if you want to manage your site later, it’s recommended to sign up (free of charge).


Step 3: Drag and Drop Your Folder

Simply drag your compiled project folder into the Netlify Drop area. Netlify will automatically upload your files, process them, and assign a unique URL to your application (e.g., https://your-app-name.netlify.app).


Step 4: Test Your Application

Once the upload is complete, your app is live! You can test it immediately by visiting the assigned URL. If you want to share it with others, just copy the link and send it.


Optional: Manage Your Site

If you want more control, like assigning a custom domain, viewing analytics, or making updates, sign up for a free Netlify account. Once signed in, you can:

  • Add custom domains with free SSL.
  • Set up redirects or advanced configurations using the _redirects file.
  • View site performance metrics.

Why Use Netlify Drop?

  • Free Hosting: Publish as many apps as you want with no upfront cost.
  • Fast and Global: Your app is hosted on a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for lightning-fast load times.
  • Simple Workflow: No setup, no configuration, just drag and drop.

Important Note

Netlify Drop supports static files only. If your application relies on server-side languages like PHP, or a database backend, you’ll need a different hosting solution or consider using serverless functions (like Netlify Functions).


We hope this guide helps you easily publish your VisualNEO Web applications. If you have any questions or run into issues, feel free to ask in this forum. Happy publishing!

Very similar is Glitch.com. But you get actually a real linux server for your project. Your project can be static or not. Free or not. Private or not. You can install npm packages and you have for example .env and .data folders for private data. I am not sure about php (not offically supported) but nodejs is supported ver 12-16.14.2.
