Your page can be typed as is, or you can use HTML to provide formatting. The entire page is contained in the URL, nothing is stored on any server nor are there anything like databases or tracking involved.
A QR code can also be created to the web page, right from the interface.
This is cool way to instantly share information to a class or group, including links. Other uses include posting more information to Twitter without resorting taking a picture of the text. Another use would be for students learning HTML, itty.bitty.site gives the student a way to create HTML and share it with anyone.
