How To Deploy Your Project From VS Code - Fast
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
- Build your project if it needs building (npm run build or equivalent).
- Find your output folder — usually build, dist or public. It's the one containing index.html.
- Right-click it in VS Code's file explorer and reveal it in Finder or File Explorer.
- Zip the folder's contents, so index.html sits at the top level of the zip.
- Drag the zip onto the upload area at tiiny.host and click Publish.
Deploying without leaving your editor
On the Solo plan and above you can generate an API key and publish programmatically. See Generating 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.
