WordPress.org is launching a new tool that lets you create a private website directly in your browser, according to an announcement on Wednesday. You can access the tool by heading to my.WordPress.net, which opens up a workspace where you can start building a website without signing up to WordPress, choosing a hosting plan, or selecting a domain.

As noted by WordPress, the private sites created using its in-browser workspace “aren’t optimized for traffic, discovery, or presentation.” Instead, WordPress positions the tool as a way to create a private environment for creating drafts, journaling, and research, as well as for experimenting with plugins, themes, and features. WordPress says that all my.WordPress.net data stays in your browser and “is not uploaded anywhere.”
The workspace is built on WordPress Playground, the same tool that creates WordPress demos. Its storage starts at around 100MB, and offers a variety of plugins you can play around with, such as a personal RSS reader, a customer relationship management tool, and an AI-powered assistant.
