## What it is
URL Pages is a client-side web application that stores entire web pages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) encoded in the URL itself, eliminating the need for hosting. It includes an editor for creating pages, a viewer that decodes URLs, and a bookmarklet for cloning existing pages.

## Use cases
- share a web page as a link without any hosting
- create and publish simple HTML pages instantly with no signup
- clone an existing web page into a shareable URL via bookmarklet
- share editable code snippets that others can modify in the browser
- create password-protected encrypted pages using Link Lock
- distribute small demos or prototypes as self-contained links

## When to choose
- you need to share small web pages without hosting, accounts, or tracking
- you want links that keep working as long as the viewer site exists
- you want a dependency-free, self-hostable static tool
- you need to share editable page code with others

## When to avoid
- your pages are large or contain big embedded images since URLs grow very long
- you need multi-page sites or server-side functionality
- you need reliable long-term hosting rather than a novelty sharing mechanism
- you cannot trust the person sending the link, since loaded pages may be malicious
