How I share AI-generated HTML previews without setting up a repo

When an AI coding session generates a single HTML page, prototype, report, or dashboard, I usually do not want to create a repo, wire up CI, or configure a full static host just to show the result to someone.

My current workflow is:

  1. Ask the coding agent to generate browser-ready output.
  2. Build the frontend if it is React, Vue, Vite, Next static export, or another framework.
  3. Upload the dist, build, out, a zip, or a single .html / .md file.
  4. Share the live preview URL.

PreviewShip is useful for that last step: https://previewship.com/

The important detail is that it expects browser-ready output. For framework projects, run the build first and upload the generated folder. For one-off AI artifacts, a standalone HTML or Markdown file is enough.

This is mostly a small workflow improvement, but it saves time when you need a review link for a teammate, a client, or a quick QA pass.
