Could you build this?
Partial A frontend file-drop UI is straightforward, but orchestrating programmatic dynamic subdomain routing, instant static asset hosting, wildcard SSL certificates, and sandboxed previews requires dedicated cloud infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The platform needs a drag-and-drop web client uploading directly to S3 or Cloudflare R2, coupled with an edge infrastructure layer (such as Cloudflare Workers or OpenResty/Caddy with dynamic routing) that handles wildcard TLS certificates, custom domain CNAME verification, and unzipping/serving static files safely at the edge.
