previewship
One-click launch of HTML pages or websites
I’m building PreviewShip, a lightweight deployment tool for developers, teams, and AI agents.
The problem I kept running into: AI agents and developers can generate HTML, Markdown, and static pages very quickly, but sharing those results as a real public URL still often requires Git, CI, servers, FTP, or hosting setup.
PreviewShip makes that step instant.
You can upload or paste HTML, Markdown, or a ZIP file, and get a public HTTPS preview link in seconds. It is useful for sharing AI-generated pages, client previews, landing page drafts, docs, static prototypes, and quick experiments without setting up a deployment pipeline.
Current focus:
- HTML file hosting
- Markdown to live URL
- ZIP static site previews
- Public HTTPS links
- AI agent friendly deployment flow
- No Git, FTP, or server setup required
I’m currently working on improving the conversion flow around expiring preview links, clearer pricing, and better onboarding for users who just need to publish and share something quickly.
Would love feedback from other indie hackers:
When you need to share a quick static preview, do you usually use Vercel/Netlify, GitHub Pages, temporary file hosting, or something else?

What I'd watch carefully is whether people are adopting this because they need deployment or because they want to avoid everything that comes before deployment.
Those sound similar, but they can lead to very different expectations once users arrive.
A lot of products win the first minute and then discover they were actually competing on something else entirely.
I think they want to avoid everything before deployment and be able to deploy for online access simply and conveniently.
That's exactly why I found it interesting.
I'm not sure I'd draw the same product conclusions from that observation that most founders would.
Happy to explain what I mean if you're open to continuing over email.
What's the best address to reach you on?
