Summary

Live preview development environment for web projects, from static HTML to fullstack applications.

  • Supports React, Vue, Vite, static HTML, Express, FastAPI, Streamlit, and Gradio with automatic health checking and error diagnostics
  • Handles fullstack projects by building frontend and serving both API and static files from a single backend port
  • Includes community publish feature to generate permanent public URLs for sharing previews on the internet
  • Requires relative paths for all assets and API calls due to reverse-proxy routing; absolute paths will fail

    • If health_check.issue is "script_escape_error" → fix the HTML escaping
    • If health_check.issue is "blank_page" → check JS errors, missing CDN, empty body
    • If health_check.issue is "connection_failed" → service didn't start, check command/port
  2. Only tell the user "preview is ready" when health_check.ok is true

When user reports a problem:

  1. DIAGNOSE FIRSTread_file the HTML/code, use preview_check to get diagnostics
