Share, Publish, and Preserve

Help me turn an experiment into something others can experience.

Publish websites, documents, audio, video, exhibits, and interactive artifacts while recording permissions, accessibility, versions, and preservation.

Preservation begins before publication. Keep editable sources, open exports, checksums or version history where useful, and a record of what may remain private.

What this can include

Create websites, documents, slide decks, books, podcasts, videos, and exhibits.
Package interactive apps, games, maps, and take-home artifacts.
Preserve sources, working files, versions, and export formats.
Record permissions, attribution, licensing, and disclosures.
Provide captions, transcripts, translations, and accessible alternatives.
Decide what remains private and what survives vendor change.

See It

Compare a working draft, saved version, deployed artifact, and verified public release.

Try It

Package one reviewed artifact with attribution, captions, alt text, source notes, and a local archive.

Build It

Design a durable publishing workflow with review gates, versioning, deployment verification, accessibility, rights, backups, and migration plans.

Run this even when the list looks current

Find current tools and prices

Product names, access, plans, and limits change. Copy this prompt into an assistant with current web access.

I want to publish and preserve my project with accessible outputs, explicit release status, permissions, attribution, version history, backups, and an exit plan for a curiosity event or learning project. Find useful tools that are available today. Assume I may not be technically experienced. Prefer official product, documentation, and pricing pages. For each tool include a plain-language description, the easiest first step, access method, required account or installation, free plan or trial, current consumer subscription price, current API or credit cost, important limits, privacy and data-use considerations, output ownership, and direct official links. Separate subscriptions from usage pricing. Show United States dollar prices, state the date checked, label anything unconfirmed instead of guessing, and remind me to verify the official pricing page before spending money.

Trust boundary

Human judgment remains in charge.

A saved version is not deployment evidence, and deployment is not proof that the intended content is publicly visible and correct.
