Temporary Public URL Service for No-Code Workflows

No-code builders struggle to get reliable public URLs when passing files between automation tools like Zapier, n8n, and Instagram. Existing solutions (imgbb, Google Drive, S3) either have rate limits, authentication issues, or require overkill configuration. A solo founder built Upload to URL to solve this specific pain point, and Reddit comments confirm the problem is underappreciated and breaks more automation stacks than people admit.

Problem Statement

No-code builders automating workflows that involve files hit a wall: Google Drive links require authentication and break when APIs fetch them, imgbb has rate limits and header quirks that cause rejections, S3 requires configuration that feels excessive for simple temporary hosting needs. The result is broken automation runs and hours of debugging.

The Idea

A file hosting service for no-code builders and automation hobbyists who need temporary public URLs that work reliably with third-party APIs.

Why Now

No-code tool adoption (Zapier, n8n, Make, Pipedream) has grown significantly, and AI-generated content workflows increasingly require passing files between services that demand proper public URLs with correct headers.

Target User

No-code automation builders, solopreneurs running Zapier/n8n workflows, small teams automating social media posting with AI-generated content.

Target Market

No-code automation workflows involving file transfers between services, particularly AI content generation pipelines posting to social media.
