https://thedev.id/
A free identity for developers on the web
thedev.id offers a subdomain, yourname.thedev.id for free which is awesome.
Actually, I'm using it for my nextjs site that is hosting on Vercel.
Steps you will need are the below.
Step 1. Fork the reposubdomains.jsonyourname.thedev.id to a service(GitHub or Vercel)
Step 1 Fork the repo

Step 2 Add your domain to subdomains.json
Open subdomains.json and add the following style to the file.
"subdomain(whatever you want to have)" : "site url that you are using for the site to host your site"
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
In my case, the added line is like below.
"koji" : "portfolio-nextjs-gdm7chx6i-kojikanao.vercel.app" ,
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
All names are ordered alphabetically, so you have to follow that rule.
Step 3 Open a new PR
After editing subdomains.json, you need to push subdomains.json to your forked repo and open a new pull request
There is no specific format for a PR.
You can follow other people's styles.https://github.com/fransallen/thedev.id/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc
The review process was very quick. In my case, it didn't take a day.
Add yourname.thedev.id to a service
Go to your project dashboard on Vercel and click Settings tab and select Domains then add subdomain.thedev.id.
The subdomain will work pretty soon!https, so you can access your website with https://subdomain.thedev.id.
In terms of GitHub, the process would be similar to Vercel. What you will need to do is to add the domain to your GitHub repo.
Hope you enjoy this!!!
