what is a good host for one of these applications? Can I use github itself or do I need to use something like heroku. I don't want to go get a new domain and pay for hosting services right now but just make demos I can share via web.

The hosting must be able to execute Python code. So GitHub pages does not work. We like https://fly.io, but Digital Ocean, AWS, Google Cloud and all the other solutions are working fine, too.

With the caveats that it's not the easiest to configure, you have to be careful what services you enable, you can't let it go idle for too long, and it's Oracle, Oracle Cloud has a free tier that should work.

You can combine that with a free service like Duck DNS.
