Dropbox has created self-contained microsites that exist solely as URLs. One can create his/her own microsite following the URL: itty.bitty.site. One can then fill the equivalent of a 8.5 x 11-inch page with any combination of plain text, ASCII characters, or emojis. The actual byte limit depends on the location where the content has to be saved. Twitter and Slack allow for around 4,000 bytes, while the Mac version of Chrome can accommodate up to 10,000 bytes.
The speciality of the site is that it isn’t hosted anywhere and the entire webpage exists as a URL compressed by an algorithm. According to Nicholas Jitkoff, vice-president of design at Dropbox, this will help in significant reduction in size for HTML, and allows for a printed page worth of content in many cases. One can also share the itty bitty sites as QR codes.
