Get Started with MiniUp
MiniUp turns HTML and data into shareable websites and lightweight applications. You can start without a build tool: publish HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and static assets, then add data or server-side logic when needed.
What can you build with MiniUp?
Use MiniUp for reports, portfolios, event pages, dashboards, searchable directories, maps, forms, and member portals. A simple report may need only a Site. A booking form needs a Table. A member dashboard can combine Site Access, a Site Members Function, and private data.
Understand the core MiniUp concepts
| Product concept | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| MiniUp Site | Frontend files and content | A dashboard with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript |
| MiniUp Table | Editable records and a Table API | Bookings or customer requests |
| Hosted dataset | Reusable data for analysis and maps | A Parquet sales dataset |
| Site Access | Who can open a Site, plus members and roles | Invite-only team portal |
| MiniUp Function | Server-side application logic | Validate a submission or call a private service |
| ChatGPT / AI Studio | A creation and editing workflow | Generate an app from approved data |
Publish and grow your first app
- Sign in and publish your first Site. Signing in lets you manage it from Dashboard.
- Open the published link and check it on a phone.
- Visit Dashboard to edit files and configure access.
- Add a Table for records, or a hosted dataset for analysis.
- Add a Function when an operation needs private credentials or trusted authorization.
Know what belongs in a Site
MiniUp Sites run browser-ready files. A project that requires a package installation, a build command, or a server process is not directly publishable as a Site. Export its static output first, or ask an AI to produce a no-build HTML/CSS/JavaScript app. Use MiniUp Functions for server-side request handling.
