From Folder to Public URL with One Command

This is the final post in a short series about shipping small, fast-moving web projects.

So far we covered:

  • Why speed matters in small demo scenarios
  • Why not every project needs a full pipeline

Now here’s the workflow.


The Goal

For small, static projects, publishing should:

  • Require no configuration
  • Produce a public HTTPS URL
  • Take less time than a context switch

From inside the project folder.


The Command

From the project root:

/myvibe-publish
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What You Get

The command runs locally, packages your static output, uploads it to MyVibe, and returns a public URL.

Example:

🚀 Published successfully!
🌍 https://www.myvibe.so/zhenqiang-zhang/devlog-ai
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

(Actual time varies with project size and network conditions.)

The point isn’t magic — it’s removing ceremony for static projects.


When This Makes Sense

Best fit:

  • Hackathon submission pages
  • Temporary demo links
  • Landing pages
  • Static docs
  • Frontend-only experiments

Assumptions:

  • Static output
  • No server runtime
  • No complex environment requirements

What It’s Not

Not a replacement for CI/CD.

Long-lived systems still deserve full pipelines.

This is for the category where the “deliverable” is simply: a link.
