door sign website (better way to change contents)

[cTurtle98]

I have a raspberry pi on my door connected to an old laptop monitor. on startup I have the pi load a webpage in chromium kiosk mode.

 

I am trying to find the best way to code that webpage. Currently I have a github project and in order to change it I have to change the html of the page and then push my changes from my laptop

 

I am hosting the site on github sites so I can't add php becuse they dont have php exicution.

I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that I can go to a second page on the site on another device and input the message I want displayed into an html form and have it updated when i hit the submit button at the bottom of the form.

maybe this could be done with javascript? I had a version of the sign where instead of making different versions of the page and changing what one is diplayed with css (see code on github) i had the divs like in the template version and changed the contents of the div with javascript. (i never uploaded that version to github) 

 

basically I need a page I can go to on a secondary device and input somethign to a form that will become a javascript variable for the contents of my door sign and then live update the sign on my door. (it would be nice if i could have a login pop up like when you go to the web interface for your wifi router so that other people dont randomly change my door message)

Host the site on the PI itself.
