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!
