# Vibe coding tools in 2026: how to publish the result

> After Codex, Claude, ChatGPT, or another vibe coding tool generates a project, publish the output folder with Revdoku for review.

Vibe coding tools can turn a rough idea into a working page, game, prototype, script, or dashboard quickly. The hard part is often not generating the first version. The hard part is sharing the result with someone else without turning the experiment into a full deployment project too early.

This tutorial covers the publishing step.

## The common output

After a vibe coding session, you may have a folder like this:

```text
weather-dashboard/
index.html
package.json
src/
public/
data/
README.md
screenshots/
```

Or a simpler static folder:

```text
client-demo/
index.html
styles.css
app.js
assets/
notes.md
```

Before choosing a host, ask what the output really is.

## Choose the publishing path

Use GitHub Pages when the result belongs in a public GitHub repository.

Use Netlify or Vercel when the result is becoming a maintained web project with Git deploys, previews, build settings, or framework hosting.

Use a VPS when the result needs a server, database, background jobs, Docker, or full operating-system control.

Use Revdoku when the result is a generated folder that needs a live URL, password access, file viewers, analytics, and fast updates.

## 1. Freeze the first publishable version

Before publishing, ask the AI tool to make a review-ready folder.

Example prompt:

```text
Prepare this project for initial publication and review.

Make sure:
- the homepage is index.html or the README explains the start command
- all local-only paths are removed
- sample data is safe to share
- private keys and .env files are excluded
- README.md explains what the reviewer should test
- known limitations are listed
```

This creates a clean checkpoint. You can always improve it later.

## 2. Decide whether it needs a build

If the folder has only static files, publishing is simple.

If it has a framework, check whether you need to run a build command:

```bash
npm install
npm run build
```

The final publishable folder may be `dist/`, `build/`, `.output/public/`, or another output directory.

If you do not know which folder is publishable, ask the AI tool:

```text
Tell me the exact folder I should publish as a static site.
If this project cannot be published statically, explain what server runtime it needs.
```

## 3. Publish with Revdoku for review

To publish a generated folder for review:

1. Upload the static folder to Revdoku.
2. Publish it as a website.
3. Add password access if the project is private.
4. Share the link with testers or clients.
5. Use analytics to see whether the link was opened.
6. Update and republish after the next AI pass.

## 4. Include the non-web files

Vibe-coded projects often include more than a web page:

- Prompt notes.
- CSV exports.
- PDFs.
- Screenshots.
- Demo data.
- Reviewer instructions.
- Test results.

Revdoku can keep those files in the same published folder. That is useful when the reviewer needs context, not just a homepage.

## 5. Use password access for unfinished work

Most vibe-coded work should not be public at first.

Use a password gate when:

- The app is a client demo.
- The design is not approved.
- The code uses sample data.
- The idea is still confidential.
- You want feedback before public launch.

Use Require Email when you want a lightweight record of who opened the review link.

Require Email verifies an emailed one-time code without a shared site password. It requires a paid plan for a permanent website; Free accounts can try it in a temporary preview.

## 6. Keep a publish log

In `README.md`, keep a small log:

```text
## Publish log

2026-07-06
- First review version
- Known issue: mobile menu needs polish
- Feedback requested: copy, layout, and chart readability

2026-07-07
- Updated hero copy
- Replaced sample CSV
- Fixed chart labels
```

This helps reviewers understand what changed between AI iterations.

Vibe coding gets you to a folder. Revdoku gets that folder in front of reviewers.

Use Revdoku when the output needs to be shared, protected, updated, and tracked before it becomes a full app deployment.
