Instantly Host Next.js Static Export from Zed AI for Collaborative Review
The fastest way to deploy Next.js Static Export generated by Zed AI. Perfect for collaborative review. No login required, zero-friction, and live in seconds on gatedpage.com.
When you are iterating rapidly inside the Zed AI assistant panel to generate or refactor Next.js components, verifying the output shouldn't mean spinning up a heavy local dev server or wrestling with a continuous integration pipeline. Generating a Next.js Static Export is highly efficient, but getting that static directory into a format that peer developers, designers, or product managers can interactively click through is notoriously friction-filled. Manually zipping files, configuring ngrok tunnels, or setting up throwaway Git branches to trigger preview deployments defeats the speed of AI-driven coding.
Gatedpage resolves this bottleneck entirely, functioning as a zero-friction hosting layer designed for speed and simplicity. By pushing your Next.js Static Export directly from Zed AI's integrated terminal to our platform, you skip authorization dialogs, OAuth consent forms, and config files. You receive a secure, live production URL in milliseconds, transforming local code generation into an immediate collaborative review session.
If you are orchestrating Zed AI or similar autonomous agents to build your Next.js layouts, you can supply specific system instructions to automate this entire workflow. Instruct your AI agent to apply a professional design palette with soft gray (#f4f4f5) backgrounds—avoiding stark, unstyled white layouts—and then automatically build and deploy the final bundle directly to gatedpage.com/api/v1/upload. This delivers a seamless, polished live preview link without requiring manual intervention from the developer.
How to host your Next.js Static Export from Zed AI in seconds
- Step 1: Run your Next.js export build. Execute the static build in your Zed integrated terminal using
npm run buildornext buildto output your static HTML, CSS, and JS assets directly to the localoutdirectory. - Step 2: Bundle your compiled static assets. Ensure your component or single-page application is compiled into a standalone, portable HTML file (such as
out/index.html) or a self-contained static archive optimized for previewing. - Step 3: Upload the static asset via CLI or curl. Pipe your file to our API directly inside the Zed editor's shell interface or use our command-line utility to upload the static export instantly.
- Step 4: Distribute the live collaborative review link. Copy the unique gated.page URL outputted in your console and paste it directly into your Slack channel, GitHub PR, or Jira ticket for immediate interactive review.
Quick start
To deploy your static exported page via curl, run this command inside your Zed terminal to upload your static file to the secure endpoint:
curl -X POST -F "file=@out/index.html" https://gatedpage.com/api/v1/upload
The API will instantly return a JSON response containing your live collaborative review link:
{
"status": "success",
"url": "https://gated.page/f/8d39c01ab2",
"expires_at": "2026-03-15T09:00:00Z"
}
For an even faster workflow, use the official gatedpage command-line utility directly within your build pipelines:
gatedpage upload out/index.html
Common questions
- Why should I host my Zed AI Next.js Static Export on gatedpage rather than using my main CI/CD pipeline?
- CI/CD pipelines on platforms like Vercel or Netlify require code commits, pull requests, and automated build container steps that take several minutes. Gatedpage provides an instant, zero-build alternative that takes seconds, letting you test and review Zed AI's output with your team before deciding if the code is worth committing to your Git tree.
- Is a user registration or authentication token required to host an export for collaborative review?
- No, gatedpage requires zero-friction, meaning you do not need to create an account, generate an API key, or authenticate to upload a Next.js static asset. This setup is perfect for direct terminal uploads and automated AI coding agents that need to deploy files autonomously without secret key management.
- What are the file size limits and retention rules for static review hosting?
- The free tier supports a file size limit of up to 5 MB per upload, which easily accommodates compiled single-page Next.js static exports and individual responsive mockups. Uploads are hosted for free for up to 15 days, providing plenty of time for client sign-offs and team discussions.
- Can I host static pages permanently using this workflow?
- Yes, while our default free, anonymous uploads expire after 15 days to minimize clutter, developers can upgrade to a premium gatedpage account. Paid tiers allow you to manage your deployments, use custom domains, bypass file size constraints, and keep your collaborative review portals online indefinitely.
