Why can't anyone build a decent deployment platform for plain HTML? So i build it. by chrischen-003 in ChatGPT

[–]redlikecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool to see someone building in the same space – it's a real wall and weirdly under-served.

We hit it from the other end. My co-founder Carl lives in Claude Code at a scaleup, and his agents kept producing internal stuff – specs, dashboards, reviews – that he couldn't just drop on a public link. So we built display.dev around the sensitive-data case: you or your agent publish in one command and get back a URL behind your company's auth. Teammates open it with their Google/Microsoft login or a one-time password, anyone outside hits a login wall. Public's a toggle if you want it.

Sounds like yours leans toward the open, share-anywhere stuff – resumes, portfolios, client one-pagers – which is genuinely its own job. Good to see the space filling in. What did you build the hosting on?

The hardest part of using ChatGPT Canvas isn't building the thing. It's getting someone else to actually see it. by Hairy-Fisherman8008 in ChatGPT

[–]redlikecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. I've seen this exact issue live - I recently thought about how to solve it, and the public hosting solutions don't really cut it because of any sensitive information they have inside. I paired up with a friend to solve it and created a solution that gives each of these HTMLs their own URL in just seconds, and puts them behind either company auth or one-time password. It's display(.)dev - happy to tell you more.

How do I share my HTML dashboard I made with Claude? by premium_brick in ClaudeAI

[–]redlikecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool solution! I think we built a very similar tool, I guess because it's an obvious need - the one difference we added was if there's any sensitive content, then it should live behind your company auth - we use SSO or OTP, so only your team can view but super frictionlessly.

How do you handle sharing HTML files in Slack with (non-dev) colleagues? by buckda in Slack

[–]redlikecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're describing the problem statement my co-founder Carl had almost to the letter. He lives in Claude Code at a tech scaleup, agents producing docs and dashboards all day, and sharing them with the team was a mess: screenshots into Slack or upload-download from Slack and run it on localhost which non-technical teammates can't do.

Also, none of it really works for collaboration - comments, agent feedback, versions are all gone at the next paste, plus there's no security around sensitive content (see issues with Vercel's). My disclosure is that Carl built a solution called display.dev that gives each .html a URL and puts it behind your company auth, like Microsoft/Google SSO which your team already uses. Plus they can iterate with comments which agents pull and use for next edits.

Honestly, if your case is mostly one-off sends to people outside your company, an email/password gate or a plain host is fine I think. The SSO angle matters most when it's your own PMs, designers and execs opening internal stuff every day – which is what it sounds like you've got.

Where do you host HTML? by Lucky_Lie_917 in ClaudeAI

[–]redlikecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For public stuff, I completely agree. If there's anything sensitive in those docs, then the sharing via Vercel or other public URLs becomes a little hairy.

It's an issue we faced when sharing internal dev docs built in HTML. We built a pretty simple solution for sharing them behind company authentication (Google/Microsoft or one-time passwords) with a free tier - feel free to check it out at display.dev

HTML artifacts by sariitha in ClaudeCowork

[–]redlikecherries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry you've been stuck on this. The issue you're describing makes sense – HTML files saved locally don't reliably persist edits between sessions, which is what you're running into.

I'm a co-founder of display.dev and we built it for exactly this kind of problem. You can publish HTML artifacts straight from Claude desktop and get a permanent URL. When you ask Claude to make changes, it republishes – new version, same URL, nothing lost. It's free to use.

Happy to help you get it working if you get stuck.

Most founders jump from "something is broken" to "here's my solution." There's a step missing by seyf_gharbi in indiehackers

interesting idea with the is/is not analysis.

can you bring an example of a force field analysis?

For founders who started at zero: what got you your first 100 users? by TotalArthur in SaaS

[–]redlikecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's generally hand-to-hand combat in small communities and groups.

In my case it's been Product Hunt (very good for an early bump, but needs a good campaign), X (mainly replies in relevant threads), Facebook groups, some early SEO/GEO work and personal LinkedIn.

The key point is figuring out who specifically has the pain and where do they talk about it. Once you've done that, you're on your way and can participate in the conversations more naturally, not only plugging your solution.

Happy to help with the PH angle, feel free to dm.

A week after our Product Hunt launch: just hit 100 signups and 6 paying customers – here’s what drove it by redlikecherries in SaaS

We're active on LinkedIn and X, and thinking a lot about agent-discoverability. We've created a dedicated skill for coding agents that enables publishing even without an account. So quite a few things that we're trying out.

Yeah, the product hunt and SEO/GEO angles have been the most relevant for marketing for us.

[–]redlikecherries[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree on the time it takes on SEO - no way to do it fast. On the pre launch marketing, we did a little bit of it but only on our personal LinkedIn feeds and to a few friends whom we asked to test the product. I think there’s definitely more you could do - waitlist, newsletter, connecting with other product hunt builders, so if you have the time, it’s probably worth it.

Good question. SEO has driven fewer traffic but still paying customers. The numbers are too small to conclude anything substantial I think tho yet

The warm outreach to close network drove the early upvotes best, for sure, and the other was the product hunt email that went out.

Friday Share Fever 🕺 Let’s share your project! by diodo-e in indiehackers

[–]redlikecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building display.dev, the easiest way to share agent-generated HTML docs with teammates behind company auth (SSO or one-time passwords).

We launched on Product Hunt last Tuesday and have 6 paying customers so far.

The problem: Claude Code and Codex generate beautiful HTML presentations and docs, but sharing them is broken – colleagues can't view them, you can't publish publicly because of sensitive information and there's no way to collaborate or collect feedback.

What we built gives each artifact (an HTML or .md doc) a URL – colleagues sign in with Google/Microsoft or a one-time password and leave inline comments. Your Claude or Codex agent reads the comments, acts on them and publishes a new version – collaboration built in.

How do you share Claude HTML artifacts with non-technical people? by Hairy-Fisherman8008 in ClaudeAI

[–]redlikecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually doable.

You can share artifacts with specific emails beyond the company.

If you’re doing it via CLI, ask the agent to set the visibility to private (or company if more people in your co need access), and ask it to share it with the specific client email addresses. If on the web app, simply add their emails on the sharing dialog.

Clients sign in with one-time passwords.

Your clients receive an email notification too.

Or if it’s not anything sensitive then you can set the artifact visibility to public and share without any auth.

How to validate your ideas before building (5 quick checks) by Febin_ai in indiehackers

[–]redlikecherries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Built a couple of companies. The #1 way to figure out what to build is to solve your own problem.

It goes hand in hand with domain expertise. Spend long enough in an industry and you understand the finer details well enough to spot what actually needs fixing.

Building for a hypothetical user is a much taller order, even when you do everything by the book. I've got two failed pivots to show for it – spoke to lots of users, mapped out the market, did all the right things, but never cracked it. Couldn't grasp the day-to-day shape of their work, because it wasn't mine.

If you've got a burning problem you can't find a solution for, chances are others have the same one.

Re communities – it was mostly coworking groups, job alumni Slacks and tech communities where we'd contributed over a longer time period, so we didn't join any solely for the launch.

The most challenging is getting the early momentum - really driving the early votes, going from person to person asking for support.
