01
Find the entry point
For plain HTML, look for index.html. For app builders, identify the static build output.
Vibe coding deployment
Publish Your Vibe-Coded Website Without Deployment Setup
Finished vibe coding? Upload the generated files and turn them into a shareable website link in seconds. HTMLShare is the fastest way to share the static output of Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, ChatGPT, Bolt, Lovable, v0, and similar workflows.
Upload HTML, ZIP, or static build output
No repository, server, domain purchase, or terminal setup required.

You Finished Vibe Coding. What Comes Next?
The usual path is prompt, generated code, local preview, then a link someone else can open.
02
Build when needed
If the project uses Vite or React, create the dist or build folder before publishing.
03
Upload the complete output
Package the generated static files into a ZIP, upload them, and test the generated HTMLShare link.
Publishing checklist
A Practical Checklist Before You Publish
AI coding tools make the first draft fast, but most publishing problems still come from ordinary static-site details: missing files, local paths, unbuilt framework projects, or source folders uploaded instead of browser-ready output. Before you send a review link, treat the page like a small release candidate.
HTMLShare is designed for the review step before production. The homepage explains the broader vibe-coded website preview workflow, while this page focuses on the specific publishing path for vibe coding deployment.
Confirm the entry file
For plain HTML, the entry file should be index.html. For generated projects, open the output folder and make sure the first page is easy to identify before packaging the upload.
Keep assets relative
Images, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and SVG files should use relative paths. Local computer paths and editor-only references often work on your machine but break after publishing.
Build framework projects first
If the AI tool produced a Vite, React, Vue, Svelte, or similar project, upload the static build output such as dist or build rather than the source folder.
Open the link before sharing
After publishing, open the generated URL in a fresh browser tab. Check desktop and mobile layout, interactions, navigation, images, and any external CDN dependencies.
Review workflow
How to Use the Published Link
A preview URL is most useful when it moves a project from private generation into shared review. Send the link with context: what changed, what kind of feedback you want, and whether reviewers should focus on copy, layout, mobile behavior, interaction, or approval.
Keep this separate from production deployment. If the page is still a prompt-driven draft, an internal demo, or a client concept, a no-Git preview link avoids premature infrastructure decisions while still giving everyone the same browser view.
Product managers
Review whether the generated page matches the feature intent or PRD.
Design reviewers
Check visual hierarchy, responsive behavior, spacing, and interaction details.
Clients
Open one browser link instead of downloading files or reading an AI chat transcript.
QA teammates
Test the static output before a production host or engineering deployment is chosen.

Works with Your Vibe Coding Workflow
HTMLShare is tool-neutral: it cares about the final static files, not which AI assistant produced them.
| Claude Code | Upload static HTML output or a built project folder |
|---|---|
| Codex | Publish generated prototypes and local static builds |
| Cursor or Windsurf | Share browser-ready output from your workspace |
| Gemini or ChatGPT | Turn copied HTML and assets into a link |
| Bolt, Lovable, v0 | Upload exported files or static build output |

Prototype Sharing vs. Production Deployment
Fast prototypes are not the same as production infrastructure. HTMLShare is best for previews, demos, reviews, and sharing static output before you decide whether a full deployment is worth it.
Use HTMLShare when you only need a link to show someone
Use Vercel, Netlify, Render, or cloud hosting for long-lived production apps
Keep secrets, databases, payments, and server code out of quick preview uploads
Move to a production stack when security, custom domains, CI/CD, and monitoring matter
When to Stop at a Preview Link
Not every generated page deserves a production deployment on day one. If the page is meant for feedback, approval, design critique, QA, or a client checkpoint, a preview link is usually the better first step. It keeps the workflow fast and gives reviewers a real browser URL without asking the team to decide on domains, analytics, repository ownership, redirects, or release infrastructure too early.
Move the project to production hosting when it needs public search traffic, a branded domain, access controls, analytics, server-side code, database connections, payment flows, or long-term uptime. Until then, HTMLShare lets the static output stand on its own so the team can judge the generated page before committing to a heavier stack.
Use a preview link for first-round feedback, internal demos, and AI-generated drafts.
Use production hosting when the page becomes a public property or business-critical workflow.
Keep secrets, API keys, private datasets, and backend credentials out of static preview uploads.
Replace the preview with a fresh link when the generated output changes materially.

FAQ
What does vibe coding deployment mean?
It usually means taking a project produced through prompt-driven coding and making it available online so another person can open it in a browser.
How do I share a vibe-coded website?
Export or build the static files, upload the HTML file or ZIP project to HTMLShare, then send the generated preview link.
Can I publish a Claude Code project?
Yes, if the project produces static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, or a static build folder. Upload that browser-ready output to HTMLShare.
Can I deploy without Vercel?
Yes. For static previews, HTMLShare can create a link without Vercel, GitHub, CI/CD, or a custom domain.
Can I send my local HTML website as a link?
Yes. Upload index.html by itself, or upload a ZIP containing index.html and its assets.
Is HTMLShare suitable for production?
HTMLShare is best for previews, demos, review links, and static prototype sharing. Use production hosting when you need backend services, secrets, monitoring, custom domains, and long-term operations.
