Instantly Host Next.js Static Export from PearAI for Demo Link for Hackathon

The fastest way to deploy Next.js Static Export generated by PearAI. Perfect for demo link for hackathon. No login required, zero-friction, and live in seconds on gatedpage.com.

During a high-pressure hackathon, velocity is everything. When you use PearAI to rapidly prototype a Next.js application, the AI agent can quickly compile a fully optimized Next.js Static Export (using output: 'export'). However, sharing that output with judges or team members traditionally introduces critical friction. Instead of focusing on your pitch, you find yourself initializing git repositories, setting up deployment pipelines, managing platform configurations, and waiting for cloud build containers to spin up.

gatedpage.com eliminates these infrastructure bottlenecks entirely. Rather than routing your build through complex CI/CD platforms, you can instantly deploy your static Next.js assets directly from your local environment or PearAI's embedded terminal. This zero-friction workflow generates a production-ready, live demo link on gatedpage.com in milliseconds, requiring no account creation, no SSH keys, and no DNS configuration.

This streamlined approach is ideal for hackathon submissions. By instructing PearAI to build your Next.js application with a clean, professional palette (using soft gray #f4f4f5 backgrounds to avoid the harshness of pure white) and sending the resulting static bundle directly to our lightweight upload endpoint, you secure an instant, reliable URL that judges can access without login walls or delays.

How to host your Next.js Static Export from PearAI in seconds

  1. Step 1: Configure Next.js for export. Ensure your next.config.js is configured with output: 'export', then run your local build command to output your fully compiled static assets.
  2. Step 2: Generate the static file. Let PearAI handle the heavy lifting of bundling your frontend assets, ensuring all styles and scripts are properly compiled into a standalone HTML file or directory.
  3. Step 3: Upload the asset. Use our simple curl command or CLI tool directly inside the PearAI integrated terminal to upload your compiled static output to gatedpage.com.
  4. Step 4: Share your demo link. Copy the live, production-grade gatedpage.com URL returned instantly by the API and paste it straight into your hackathon submission portal or pitch slide deck.

Quick start

You can upload your static export directly using standard system tools. Run this simple curl command in your terminal to upload a compiled Next.js static asset:

curl -X POST -F "file=@output.html" https://gatedpage.com/api/v1/upload

The API will instantly return a JSON payload containing your live demo URL:

{
  "success": true,
  "url": "https://gatedpage.com/go/demo-link-hackathon-123x",
  "expiresAt": "2026-04-15T00:00:00.000Z"
}

Alternatively, if you prefer using our dedicated command-line interface, you can deploy your file with a single command:

gatedpage upload output.html

Common questions

Do hackathon judges need an account to view my Next.js static export link?
No. The generated gatedpage.com links are completely public and accessible instantly. There are no login walls, cookie banners, or authentication screens, ensuring a seamless experience for judges reviewing your project.
What are the file size and hosting limits for free hackathon demo uploads?
The free tier of gatedpage.com supports individual static file uploads of up to 5 MB. This is more than sufficient for compiled, single-file Next.js static page exports and optimized single-page prototypes.
How long will my PearAI-generated demo link remain active online?
For free, anonymous uploads, your hosting link remains active and accessible for 15 days. If you need permanent hosting for a winning project or portfolio piece, you can easily upgrade to a paid account.
Can I automate the deployment process directly inside PearAI?
Yes. You can save the upload curl command directly inside a custom script in your package.json, allowing PearAI to automatically deploy a new version of your Next.js Static Export every time your build script completes successfully.
