Project 1/28: 4567
Point it at any folder on your computer and get a website in under 2 minutes. No setup, no cloud, all files stay on your computer.
The first project is out. The goal is 28 shipped by the end of 2026. This one is number one.
What 4567 does
Point it at any folder on your computer. Get a website back.That is the whole pitch for 4567.
No setup, no signup, no cloud, no database. Your files stay on your machine the whole time. When you are happy with how it looks, export clean HTML and put it anywhere... or keep it for yourself local only.
I built it because I have 20+ years of design work sitting in folders and every time someone asked to see my portfolio I would grab three random files from my computer, and send a zip.
4567 fixed that problem for me. Now I am making it available for other people with the same problem.
How it works
- Download 4567. Run it. No install, no account.
- Open any folder into the app — photos, docs, design files, videos, PDFs.
- It reads your files and builds a simple site where you can navigate selected folder visually in your browser. Every folder becomes a page. Every subfolder becomes a page inside that page.
- You see it live in your browser at
localhost:4567. Edit a file, the site updates instantly. - When you are ready, export a folder of static HTML. Host it anywhere. Or nowhere. You choose.
That is the workflow. Start to finish, the first time I timed it: 94 seconds. And most of that was me deciding which folder to pick.
Made for
- Designers who need a quick portfolio yesterday: drop your work in, edit text if you need, done.
- Developers who want project docs without setting up a wiki: write markdown, get formatted pages.
- Photographers who have folders of work and no gallery: drag the folder in, get a browsable site.
- Anyone who has files sitting in folders and wants a simple website.
The pricing
$70/year. Personal license: unlimited sites, unlimited exports. Business license: volume tiers for teams.
You keep what you built even if you stop paying. You just stop getting updates. No site going dark. No lock-in. No proprietary format.
Twenty-seven more to go. But this one first.
