Deploying from VS Code

If you're building locally in VS Code, you can get your project online without leaving your workflow for long.

Steps

1. Build your project if it needs building (npm run build or equivalent).
2. Find your output folder — usually build, dist or public. It's the one containing index.html.
3. Right-click it in VS Code's file explorer and reveal it in Finder or File Explorer.
4. Zip the folder's contents, so index.html sits at the top level of the zip.
5. Drag the zip onto the upload area at tiiny.host and click Publish.

Deploying without leaving your editor

Install the Tiiny Host extension from the VS Code Marketplace. When it asks you to connect, click Authorize to link it to your Tiiny Host account. The extension can see your projects, create and update them, and see your email address.

If you'd rather script your own publishing, on the Solo plan and above you can generate an API key instead. See How to generate your API key and our API docs.

Nothing loads after publishing?

Usually the zip structure. The zip should contain index.html at its top level, not a folder containing it.
