new pgs features

• We are pleased to announce a new set of features that have recently been deployed to pgs. All of these new features require pico+.
• Auto-forms allow site owners to publish forms where we will automatically collect the entries
• Site owners can restrict access with a password
• Projects prefixed with `private-` are now private-by-default
• Files uploaded to the `bin` project auto-delete after 14 days
• Pipe to pgs
• learn how to use them in our docs

auto-forms

• This feature is awesome. Upload html with a form that posts to a special route and we will automatically collect the submissions.

• <form method="POST" action="/pgs/forms/{name}">
    <input type="email" name="email" />
    <button type="submit">Subscribe!</button>
  </form>

• Then you can access the results as json using our remote cli:

• ssh pgs.sh forms {name}

• That's it! We see this as a great tool to help developers prototype new ideas and collect user information without server functions.

http-pass

• We created a new ACL type that allows site owners to restrict access to their site using a password. Setup is simple, just set your ACL using the remote cli:

• ssh pgs.sh acl {project} --type http-pass --acl {password}

• Now when users go to your site they will be required to enter a password. The we set a cookie in their browser that lasts 24 hours.

private projects

• Any project prefixed with `private-` is now private-by-default and can only ever be private. These can be seen as places to upload build artifacts or just a simple object store.

bin

• The bin project is just a place where you can quickly share files that you don't want to persist indefinitely. Think of it as a 0x0.st type mini-feature. Just upload files to that project and we will take care of removing them.

• echo "<body>hello world!</body>" | ssh pgs.sh /bin/index.html

pipe

• We also wanted to announce a new way to upload files to pgs. This was a hidden feature that we forgot to announce or put into our docs, but you can upload files directly to pgs via pipe which makes it easier to insert pgs into a unix pipeline.

ai

• We are also working on the remote cli docs and plan to continue improving them so users can tell code agents to read `ssh pgs.sh help` to learn how to use the service. Code agents are in the terminal, pgs is in the terminal, why not ask agents to use pgs directly?

end

• That's it for now, let us know if you like these new features!
