Publish faster, then keep building with the data you already have.
- Publish a page or full static project without assembling a separate hosting workflow
- Turn tables and data files into reusable APIs, datasets, dashboards, maps, and portals
- Find hosted data across your sites in one Data Catalog and inspect it before building
- Approve multiple datasets for one app with Dataset Bundles
- Use MiniUp in ChatGPT to move from an upload or hosted dataset to a published app
- Control how sites and data are shared with public and protected access options
MiniUp starts with a familiar action: publish the page or upload the file. It then helps you turn that work into a maintainable product with hosted data, clear sharing controls, and a dashboard you can return to.
You can build directly in MiniUp or connect it to ChatGPT. Either way, the result is a real MiniUp app that can use uploaded files, Table APIs, Parquet or GeoParquet assets, map layers, and approved groups of existing datasets.
Build from new files and existing hosted data
MiniUp helps you reuse data instead of starting every app from an empty page.
Upload a spreadsheet or geospatial file
→ inspect the data
→ publish a dashboard or map
→ keep the hosted dataset available for future appsOpen the Data Catalog
→ review schema, sample, and profile
→ approve a Dataset Bundle
→ ask ChatGPT to build and publish the appMiniUp in ChatGPT
For people who already build in chat, MiniUp adds the context and publishing step needed to produce a usable app.
You still have to connect the generated idea to real data and a sharing workflow.
- Generated pages often stop at a code snippet or local demo.
- The AI may have too little context about existing datasets.
- Uploaded files may not become reusable hosted data.
- You still have to arrange hosting and sharing yourself.
ChatGPT can inspect approved context and publish the result to your MiniUp account.
- Start from uploads or eligible datasets already in your Data Catalog.
- Use Dataset Bundles when an app needs several approved data sources.
- Get a real MiniUp URL you can open, share, and keep managing later.

Why use MiniUp instead of assembling separate tools?
Most publishing tools stop after the first link. MiniUp is designed for the work that happens next.
You get a live link. Then the stack starts to spread.
- Host the page on one tool
- Find another tool for discovery or branded sharing
- Stand up a separate backend if the page needs live data
- Figure out datasets, docs, and updates somewhere else
One workspace can take a project from first publish to a useful data-backed app.
- Publish the page instantly
- Keep editing files and restoring revisions from the same dashboard
- Add Gallery listing, password, QR, and custom domain when distribution matters
- Add Table APIs, hosted datasets, Data Sources, and PDF Packs without leaving the workspace
- Find and approve existing datasets before building the next app
Best for
- Teams that need dashboards, maps, reports, portals, and lightweight business apps.
- People who want to turn uploaded files or hosted datasets into shareable experiences.
- Organizations that want a clear catalog of data across several MiniUp sites.
- ChatGPT users who want a published result instead of a local-only demo.
- PDF manuals, policies, specs, and training documents that need app-ready content.
Not for
- Complex back ends with heavy business logic.
- Large scale analytics or streaming data.
- Highly customized hosting stacks.
Six useful outcomes from one workspace
Each can start with an upload, an existing MiniUp dataset, or a conversation in ChatGPT.
Operations dashboard
Combine approved metrics, events, and reference data into a clear dashboard with filters and drill-downs.
Customer-facing report
Publish a polished report or microsite, then share it with a MiniUp link, QR code, or custom domain.
Map and data portal
Use hosted spatial data to create a map with useful layers, summaries, filters, and linked details.
Directory or records app
Build a searchable directory, catalog, RSVP list, or lightweight records workflow backed by a Table API.
Repeatable data refresh
Connect a supported Data Source, refresh its hosted snapshot, and keep downstream apps on a stable MiniUp dataset.
PDF reference app
Turn a manual, policy, workbook, or specification into a PDF Pack that supports source-aware app experiences.
Fair-use limits
Limits prevent abuse and keep the service fast for everyone.
