I can't speak for the aesthetics, but it's very easy to create an eg 
reprepro debian/ directory locally, make it into a git repo and sync it 
to eg github.
https://github.com/johnraff/helium-dev-repo-exp
Apt can access the above (now obsolete) directory with the line:
deb https://johnraff.github.io/helium-dev-repo-exp/debian/ helium main

But it's also quite easy to do with rsync and ssh.
